Charge of an atom that has gained electrons?
It is a negative charge
What is an atom that has given up or gained electrons?
Atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons are called ions.An atom that has gained and electron is an anion; and atom that has lost an electron is a cation. Gaining an electron means the anion has a negative charge; losing one or more electrons means the atom has a positive charge.
Is a positive ion an atom that has gained an electron?
No, an electron has a negative charge. Therefore, if an originally neutral atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge.
When an atom in no longer neutral it exists with a charge an atom that has a charge is called a?
When an atom is no longer neutral and has gained or lost electrons, it is called an ion. An atom that has gained electrons will have a negative charge (an anion), while an atom that has lost electrons will have a positive charge (a cation).
When an atom becomes an ion with a negative 2 charge the atom?
Gained 2 electrons
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What difference between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What is the name of any atom or group of atoms with a negative charge?
An atom or group of atoms with a negative charge is called an anion. Anions have gained one or more electrons, leading to an overall negative charge.
When a atom has a positive or negative charge beause it lost or gained an electron is a?
An atom has a postitive charge when it loses an electron and a negative when it gains one. It then becomes an ion through this process.
What is an atom that has lost or gained an electron and now carries a positive or negative charge called?
I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
Is cl- an atom?
No, Cl- is not an atom. It is an ion. Cl- represents a chlorine atom that has gained an electron, giving it a negative charge.
