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
How does ionic bond bond?
Ionic bonds form when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions. These oppositely charged ions are then held together by electrostatic forces, creating a bond. This bond is typically formed between a metal atom (which donates electrons to become a positive ion) and a nonmetal atom (which accepts electrons to become a negative ion).
Which type of chemical bonding results from the transfer of electrons?
Ionic bonding results from the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal atom. The metal atom loses electrons to form a positive ion, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to form a negative ion. The opposite charges attract, creating the ionic bond.
What holds a metal and nonmetal together?
A chemical bond called an ionic bond holds a metal and nonmetal together. In an ionic bond, the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion, while the nonmetal atom gains these electrons to become a negatively charged ion. The opposite charges attract each other and form a strong bond.
If a hydrogen atom loses its electron does it become a negative?
No, if a hydrogen atom loses its electron, it becomes a positively charged hydrogen ion (H+). This is because the electron carries a negative charge, and when it is removed from the atom, the remaining proton in the nucleus gives the atom a net positive charge.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
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
How does ionic bond bond?
Ionic bonds form when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions. These oppositely charged ions are then held together by electrostatic forces, creating a bond. This bond is typically formed between a metal atom (which donates electrons to become a positive ion) and a nonmetal atom (which accepts electrons to become a negative ion).
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion has gained one or more electrons to become negatively charged, while its parent atom is neutral with an equal number of protons and electrons. This means the negative ion has more electrons than its parent atom.
Which type of chemical bonding results from the transfer of electrons?
Ionic bonding results from the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal atom. The metal atom loses electrons to form a positive ion, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to form a negative ion. The opposite charges attract, creating the ionic bond.
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What holds a metal and nonmetal together?
A chemical bond called an ionic bond holds a metal and nonmetal together. In an ionic bond, the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion, while the nonmetal atom gains these electrons to become a negatively charged ion. The opposite charges attract each other and form a strong bond.
How does nonmetal become a negative ion?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions. Only non-metals form negative ions - this ability (to gain electrons) is intrinsic to the nature of non-metals. Only metals form positive ions - this ability (to lose electrons) is intrinsic to the nature of metals. A positive ion (cation) is formed by removing electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms. A negative ion (anion) is formed by gaining electron(s) an atom or group of atoms.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
What does a nonmetal become after they accepts an electron?
An ion
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
