Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
It forms a new atom.
yes
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.
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
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.
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.
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
This atom lose an electron.
The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
An atom's atomic number is best described as the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its chemical element. It is written as a whole number above the chemical symbol of an element on the periodic table.
