What happens when a nonmetal atom gains an electron from another atom?
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
Chlorine's charge after accepting an electron is -1, as it gains one negative charge when it accepts an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is the charge on atom if it gains electrons?
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
Is a positive ion an atom that has gained an electron?
No, an electron has a negative charge. Therefore, if an originally neutral atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge.
What type of charge does an ion have when an atom gains an electron?
Negative.
If an atom gains an electron would it have a negative or positive charge?
it would have a negative charge
What charge will an ion have if it gains 1 electron?
Its charge will then be (whatever it was before) - 1
When chlorine gains one electron what kind of ion is it?
When chlorine gains one electron, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge.
What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?
here r the possisble answers: both atoms lose 1 electron a covalent bond forms metal gains an electron and the nonmetal loses an electron metal loses an electron and non metal gains an electron
