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.

When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
What happens to atoms in chemicals reactions?
IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
Based on their placement on the periodic table what about ion formation is correct There is more than one correct statement?
A Group 6A element gains two electrons A Group 2A element loses two electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons group 1a element loses one electron group 7a gains one electron
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 a neutral atom gains electrons what happens to the atoms overall charge?
It becomes negatively charged.
What happens in a reduction?
An element gains one or more electrons
What happens to the neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
It gains electrons!
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
An element that gains electrons when combining with other elements is a?
A metalloid :)
When sodium and chlorine combine what happens to the electrons?
Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose 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 happen when an atom forms an ion?
For an atom to form an ion, it has to either gain or lose one or more electrons. Usually this happens during a chemical reaction, when an element gains or loses electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
What happens when an atom gains or losses protons?
The element is completely changed
