What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
What charge do the VIIIA noble gases have?
negative charge with gain of electrons
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
What happenes to the charge of and atom when it gains electrons?
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a 2-charge?
An ion with a charge of 2- was an atom that lost 2 electrons to gain noble gas configuration.
What charge does an object gain if it gives electrons?
positive charge
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
What charge do the VIIIA noble gases have?
negative charge with gain of electrons
How do atoms gain a charge?
An atom willreceive a charge when it becomes ionized. If the atom looses one of its electrons (-), then there are more protons (+) and it becomes a+1 charge (positive). If the atom gains an electron, then there are more electrons and it becomes a -1 (negative) charge. It depends on the electrons in the valence level (outer level) to decide if it will gain or lose electrons.
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
What happens when a molecule is reduced?
It gain the electrons
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
If an atom gains electrons its electrical charge is?
Negative, assuming that the gain of electrons was an ionizing gain (not just replacing missing electrons)
