yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
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 it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
It becomes whenever it gains one or more electron.
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
If an atom gains or loses a valence electron, it becomes a charged particle called an ion. When it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation. Conversely, when it gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion, known as an anion. This process is fundamental in the formation of chemical bonds and compounds.
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
