it becomes an ion.
an ion of any element has the same number of protons but different number of electrons.
an ion can be of two types. cation and anion. cation is positive i.e. one less electron and an anion is negative, i.e. one more electron.
so that's the answer to your original question. if an electron is added, the atom of the element becomes negatively charged.

If you added another proton neutron and electron to a gold atom you will obtain element what is element?
You would get, of course, either lead or mercury
What element would be an electron poor semiconductor when added to silicon As Be B Al or none?
B
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
Which element has a single electron in the 2p sublevel?
The element that has a single electron in the 2p sublevel is boron. The electron configuration of Boron is 1s22s22p1.
What is the electron configuration of element 39?
The electron configuration of the element with the atomic number 39 (yttrium) is: [Kr]4d15s2.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
If you added another proton neutron and electron to a gold atom you will obtain element what is element?
You would get, of course, either lead or mercury
Why is the mass of an element not added to the atomic mass of an atom?
Because the electron is a lepton, and is not made of quarks.
What element would be an electron poor semiconductor when added to silicon As Be B Al or none?
B
What happens to the energy to a neutral atom when an electron is added?
the atom becomes negatively charged
What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?
you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What element has no electron affinity?
Helium has no electron affinity.
How many elements does the outer electron have?
An electron is not an element.
What is the electron affinity of yttrium?
The electron affinity of yttrium is 29.6 kilojoules per mole. This is how much energy this element releases when added to a single neutral, gaseous molecule or atom to create a negative ion.
Which element has a single electron in the 2p sublevel?
The element that has a single electron in the 2p sublevel is boron. The electron configuration of Boron is 1s22s22p1.
