What else can I help you with?
When a neutral atom gains electrons it is then?
This atom become an anion.
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.
What does nonmetal atom need to do in order to become an anion?
This atom gains electrons.
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?
it becomes an ion
When an atom loses or gains electron electrons it's become a?
Ion
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
If an atom has four valence electrons is it an anion?
No, having four valence electrons does not determine whether an atom is an anion. An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons to have a negative charge. If the atom with four valence electrons gains four more electrons, it would become an anion.
If oxygen gains 2 electrons what charge will it have?
It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
How ions form.?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons and gets charged. If an atom gains electrons, number of electrons exceed from the number of proton and hence an atom gets negatively charged. Similarly if an atom looses electrons the total number of protons become more than the number of electrons.. and the atom becomes positively charged.
What if an atom gains three electrons?
If an atom gains three electrons, it will become negatively charged because electrons are negatively charged particles. This will result in the formation of a negatively charged ion. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom will still determine its atomic number and identity.
