gain or lose electrons
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
This particle is the electron, negatively charged.
An atoms becomes a negative ion when it accepts electrons.
No, a negatively charged particle (electron) has a negative charge associated with it. A neutral particle (neutron) is neither negatively charged nor positively charged.
Yes, the strength of an electric field from a charged particle is stronger closer to the particle and weaker as you move further away. The electric field decreases with distance according to the inverse square law, which means it decreases as the square of the distance from the charged particle.
The representative particle of a sodium ion is Na⁺, which has lost one electron to become positively charged.
electronThe electron is a negatively charged particle.
A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of one or more electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because there are more protons than electrons in the atom, creating an overall positive charge.
Ionised particles are particles that carry a positive or negative charge. This is due to the loss or gain of an electron or electrons. Losing an electron will cause a particle to become more positively charged, while gaining an electron will cause a particle to become more negatively charged.
the positivly charged particle in the nuclus of an atom is a proton
The name of a positively charged particle in the nucleus is proton.
A positively charged subatomic particle is a proton. Protons are found within the nucleus of an atom and carry a positive electrical charge.
