When sodium and chlorine combine what happens to the electrons?
Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons
What happens in a reduction?
An element gains one or more electrons
What happens to sulfur atom when it becomes a sulphide ion?
It gains or loses electrons.
When a sulfur atom gains two electrons what happens to it?
It becomes a sulfur ion with a charge of -2.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
What happens to the neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
It gains electrons!
When sodium and chlorine combine what happens to the electrons?
Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
What happens to atoms in chemicals reactions?
IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
What happens in a reduction?
An element gains one or more electrons
What happens to a neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
negatively charged
What happens to neutrall charge object if it gains electrons?
negatively charged
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
What happens to sulfur atom when it becomes a sulphide ion?
It gains or loses electrons.
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
Does bromine lose or gain electrons?
it gains electrons.
When a sulfur atom gains two electrons what happens to it?
It becomes a sulfur ion with a charge of -2.
