What else can I help you with?
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
Explain how an atoms becomes an ion?
an ion is an atom with a posotive or negative charge. this means the atom gains or loses an electron
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
An atom that has a positive or negative charge due to having unequal numbers of protons and electrons?
An atom that has a positive or negative charge due to having unequal numbers of protons and electrons is called an ion. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion), and if it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
When an electron is added to a unipositive ion, the resulting atom gains a negative charge and becomes a neutral atom. The electron neutralizes the positive charge of the ion, balancing the overall charge of the atom.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
