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 effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
What happens when a nonmetal atom gains an electron from another atom?
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
How many electrons do hydrogen gains or lost?
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
When a substances gains electrons is it reduced?
Yes when any substance gains electrons , that substance is now then reduced.
What would be the charge of a beryllium atom that has a full outer shell?
Beryllium has 2 outer shell electrons. Its full electronic configuration is:- 1s2, 2s2
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.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains two electrons?
Copper loss electrons.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What is the resulting charge of a surface that gains electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge. Therefore, an atom having extra electrons is a negative ion.
The charge an object has when it has gained electrons?
electric charge
An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
When an atom gains electrons or negative charge the process is referred to as?
Ionization. That atom becomes a anion.
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
