surely i don't know sodium atom which can be gained 2 electrons but anyway i thought the answer is Na+2
anion
Positive
Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
It is a negative charge
An ion
The symbol for a sulfur atom that has gained 2 electrons is represented as S^2-.
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
Chlorine is a metal element. There are 17 electrons in a single atom.
An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (an anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (a cation).
