Electron is a negatively (-) charged particle found in a atom. Unlike proton and neutron, electron is found in orbital shells of atom, but not in nucleus. Electron are very small that is why they don't contribute to the Atomic Mass of a element. Electron are responsible for forming ions and take part in chemical reaction.
What else can I help you with?
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
Is an electron in a hydrogen atom the same as an electron in a uranium atom?
yes
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
When is electron a valence electron?
A valence electron is one that occupies the highest energy level for any electron in a particular neutral atom. (There may be more than one such electron in a single atom.) It is an electron in the outermost shell of the atom.
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
What kind of atom tends to have one electron?
The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
What is An atom with one extra electron or one missing electron called?
An atom with one extra electron is called an anion, while an atom with one missing electron is called a cation.
