What else can I help you with?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
What happens to the energy to a neutral atom when an electron is added?
the atom becomes negatively charged
When a neutral atom loses an electron what happens to its size?
When a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion. The loss of an electron reduces the electron-electron repulsion, causing the remaining electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. This contraction in electron cloud typically results in a smaller ionic size compared to the neutral atom.
What happens to an atom of fluorine (F) when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
It accepts one electron.
What happens to a neutral atom if it gains an electron?
If a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. The extra electron increases the overall negative charge of the atom and can affect its chemical behavior and reactivity.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
When an electron is added to a unipositive ion, the resulting atom gains a negative charge and becomes a neutral atom. The electron neutralizes the positive charge of the ion, balancing the overall charge of the atom.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Where is the single electron in an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen located?
The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.
Does a neutral hydrogen atom exhibit an attraction for an additional electron?
Yes, a neutral hydrogen atom does exhibit an attraction for an additional electron.
When an atom accepts an electron the resulting particle is called what?
a marriage
How many electron does a neutral atom of mercury have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
