What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.
What is the charge on atom if it gains electrons?
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
What happens when a nonmetal atom gains an electron from another atom?
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
When an atoms loses an electron it?
The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)
How many protons and electrons is in ion?
An ion is defined as an element with a charge. Because elements vary with how many protons they have (along with neutrons to form isotopes) it is impossible to put a set number on how many protons and electrons all ions have. An element (or compound) becomes an ion when the substance gains (to become a positive ion) or loses (to become a negative ion) an electron(s).
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
Does an atom that gains an electron become negatively charged?
yes
If chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become a?
positively
When an atom loses or gains electron electrons it's become a?
Ion
What happens to an atom's overall charge if it gains an electron?
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
How does an atom becone an ion?
An atom looses or gains electron to become ion. Ions are +ve and -ve atoms.
How does a hydrogen ion change into an atom?
A hydrogen ion can change into an atom by gaining an electron. When a hydrogen ion, which is essentially a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron, gains an electron back, it will become a neutral hydrogen atom.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
What happens to a neutral atom if it gains an electron?
If a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. The extra electron increases the overall negative charge of the atom and can affect its chemical behavior and reactivity.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
