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 is the results of losing electrons?
when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.
What happens to an atom when it loses an electon?
they jump to a higher energy level
How many electrons in the atom Pb?
Lead is a metal element. There are 82 electrons in a single atom.

An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
Which subatomic particle changes when an atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes ionized, it gains or loses electrons (usually one).
What is a charged particle called that forms when an atom transfers electrons?
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining?
An atom can become an ion by either gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a cation. An ion is merely an atom with a charge, either positive or negative.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
If an atom loses electrons or becomes a positive ion it becomes?
A cation.
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes charged?
An atom has three charges: protons which are +, electrons which are - and neutrons which have neither. They balance each other out. If electrons are lost, the atom now has more protons and the atom becomes positive.
What causes an atom to be stable?
An atom becomes stable by gaining or loosing electrons.
