It must have a charge. That is, gain or lose an electron from it's neutral state. H is a hydrogen atom. H+ is a hydrogen ion. Cl- is a chloride ion. (note the "ide" is often used to indicate a negative charge. H- is known as a hydride.)

If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Why is the condensing of water from steam an exothermic reaction?
this is so because gaseous particles (steam) must lose energy/heat in order for them to lose their free, haphazard state and become grounded or closer together due to forces of attraction (they become water which has stronger forces of attraction than air)
The nonreactivity of chlorine atom in chloroethene is due to?
the double bond
Why Ammonia acts as a ligand?
Due to the presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom.
Positive ions usually form from?
Usually, negative ions are formed by losing of electrons from the atom. Due to which, that atom get positively charged( due to having more number of protons than electrons).
What must happen in order for an ion to form?
An ion forms when an atom with the same number of protons as electrons looses or gains one or more electrons. This gain or loss of electrons would be due to some sort of ionic bond
Why must scientists use the concept of probability for the structure of an atom?
This is due to Heisenberg's principal of uncertainty.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
What would hydrogens spectrum have to be to become a continuous spectrum?
In order for a hydrogen atom to have a continuous spectrum, the oscillation would have to be incoherent. In other words, there would be no fixed or steady state oscillation. In addition, the change in state of the oscillator would have to be incoherent. We know that the energy that is radiated from a hydrogen atom is due to changes in the energy states of the atom. Therefore, each of the states that the atom would have to reach must be perfectly random. This would produce a nearly continuous spectrum over a certain range in frequencies or wavelengths.
Charged particle of an atom due to the removal of an electronparticle of atom?

An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
How did the headland change in 250 years?
Ti must have become smaller over that period due to marine erosion.
How did the atom bomb contribute to the Cold War?
we were feared of due to the technology of the atom bomb.
Why does nucleus of an atom have a positive charge?
an atom has a positive charge due to the fact that it has a positive
All of the mass of an atom is due to the?
The mass of an atom is the sum of the masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
How old do you have to be to become a cashier?

Essentially all of the mass of an atom is due to the?
nucleons
