When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.
It gains a negative charge and then it becomes a negatively charged ion
An atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion with a 1+ charge.
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
An atom which gains an electron will become a negatively charged ion.
it becomes a negatively charged ion
It becomes a negatively charged ion
the atom becomes a negatively charged ion
It becomes an ion.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
Then this atom will become an anion (negatively charged) Example: Cl + e- --> Cl-
It becomes a negative ion.
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.
It becomes an ion.
The atom gains an electron and becomes negativly charged
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
As a neutral atom lose an electron then it becomes a positive ion As it gains an electron then it becomes a negative ion
Then this atom will become an anion (negatively charged) Example: Cl + e- --> Cl-
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
