an ion with a 2- charge has 2 more electrons than usual

When an atom becomes an ion with a negative 2 charge the atom?
Gained 2 electrons
What happens when an atom becomes an ion with a 2 charge?
Let's say that an Oxygen (O) has a charge of -2. O-2 is no longer called an atom because it has a charge. It is now called an ion. It is said as Oxygen negative 2 ion. It means that the atom's number of electrons increased by 2.
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.
How does an atom of sulfur-36 become a sulfide ion with a-2 charge?
It becomes this ion after the gain of two electrons.
When does an atom become an ion with a charge of 2 plus?
Barium has two electrons in its outermost shell, electrons carrying a negative charge. When the Barium atom becomes an ion, these two electrons are lost. Now the Barium atom has more protons than electrons, meaning a net positive charge of 2.
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
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
When an atom gains an electron to be stable it becomes?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
When a sulfur atom gains two electrons what happens to it?
It becomes a sulfur ion with a charge of -2.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
When a sodium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron from its outer shell. This loss of an electron leaves the sodium atom with a positive charge, as it now has one more proton than electrons. This results in the formation of a sodium ion, specifically a sodium cation with a charge of +1.
What is the charge of a barium atom that has lost two electrons?
it neets to loose 2 electrons to have a full outer shell.
How does an atom of sulfur-36 become a sulfide ion with a -2 charge?
An atom of sulfur-36 can gain two electrons to become a sulfide ion with a -2 charge. When it gains these two electrons, it achieves a stable electron configuration, similar to the noble gas configuration of argon, resulting in a charge of -2.
