What kind of charge will nonmetal possess when it gains electron?
Since electrons are negatively charged, a nonmetal which gains an electron will also become negatively charged.
What kind of charge do you get when you remove an electron from an atom?
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
When two atoms share an electron unevenly and one of the atoms has a slight negative charge as a result what kind of bond is this?
This is a polar covalent bond.
When chlorine gains one electron what kind of ion is it?
Chloride
What kind of bond forms when an atom loses or gains an electron?
no
What kind of charge does the electron charge have?
negative
Chlorine readily gains an electron forming what kind of ion?
negative
What kind of charge does an electron in an atom have?
Negative
What kind of charge does an electron a atom have?
negative
What kind of ion does fluorine form when it ionizes?
Anion. It gains an electron, making it negative.
What kind of charge does an electron have when it gains or loses electrons?
Remember- Pro means + Therefore, a proton has a + charge, an electron has a - charge, and neutrons (neutral) have no charge. Normally an atom has an even number of protons and electrons, and can have any number of neutrons and still be the same element. When you add electrons, you end up with a slight negative charge because there are more negatively charged particles than positive ones. When you remove electrons, you get a slight positive charge, because there are now more positive particles than negative ones. This usually occurs as a result of polar covalent bonds. A atom with a slight charge in either direction is called an ion. A negative ion is a anion, while a positive ion is a cation.
Is copper an element which is made up of atoms?
Yes, everything is made up of atoms, but the atoms in copper are all the same kind, just copper atoms, so it is an element.
