It has gained one or more electrons, and will be attracted to positively charged ions.
an ion with a 2- charge has 2 more electrons than usual
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.
If an atom looses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
gains an electron and its radius increases
Metals ions are electrically positively charged - cations.
it gains an electron
they die off
This atom become the anion fluoride F-.
It will gain an electron
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
Fluorine decreases in size when it becomes an ion.
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.

When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
The atom becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
The atom becomes a negative ion.
Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
It becomes whenever it gains one or more electron.
Fluorine decreases in size when it becomes an ion.
