In modern physics, particles can certainly have or be assigned a fractional charge (like quarks with a charge of +/- 2/3) or fractional spin (like the spin 1/2 fermions) but the concept of a fraction of a particle is not recognized. An object gaining six electrons is possible but gaining a half of an electron isn't meaningful. In an abstract sense, two atoms might share an electron in a bond (with covalent behavior) but in reality this would be more like a probability cloud with an electron sharing its "time" partly with one atom and partly with the other.

What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Which elements are likely to gain electrons?
Since chemical reaction............<3
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
What is the number of electrons and neutrons for zinc?
Zinc common isotope is 65 atomic mass element number 30. So it has 30 protons, 30 electrons and 35 neutrons
What is the charge on an ion with 65 protons and 69 electrons?
Remember.. I f there are more electrons than protons in an ion the charge will be negative. Here there is a -4 charge because the electrons are higher than the protons, if it were the opposite the charge would be +4.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
What charge does an object gain if it gives electrons?
positive charge
How objects become negatively charges?
To become negatively charged, an object must gain electrons from another object
How does a object become negatively charged?
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
Chlorine gain electrons.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Will chlorine gain number of electrons gained or lost?
Chlorine gain electrons.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
