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.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What are the two main types of chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds, in which an atom loses or gains an electron, and Covalent bonds, in which atoms share electrons.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
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.
If a neutral atoms gains electron what type of particle is formed?
An electron has a negative charge, so if a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion. A negative ion is called an anion.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What ion is formed when an atom loses an electron.?
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
What charge does the Na and CI atoms acquire when they react?
Sodium loses one electron, therefore Na+ Chlorine gains an electron, therefore Cl-
How does an atom becone an ion?
An atom looses or gains electron to become ion. Ions are +ve and -ve atoms.
How are ions formed from atoms?
Ions are the formation of unbalanced atoms due to an attraction caused by a near completion of an electron ring in one atom and extra or valence electrons in the outer ring of another. If an atom gains an extra electron its over all charge is negative and the opposite is true for the atom gaining an electron.
What is the charge of a valance electron?
The charge of a valence Electron is negative. The word valence means the combining power of atoms: the combining power of atoms or groups measured by the number of electrons the atom or group will receive, give up, or share in forming a compound. Therfore nothing changes the electrons charge. The electrons charge will always be negative no matter what. Electrons make up the stable atoms. If it the atom gains or looses an electron it becomes either a positive (looses an electron) or negative (gains an electron) ion.
When atoms gains an electron it has a what kind of charge?
Negative = ] Protons have a (relative) charge of +1 Electrons have a (relative) charge of -1
Explain how an atoms becomes an ion?
an ion is an atom with a posotive or negative charge. this means the atom gains or loses an electron
How do atoms maintain their charge?
Atoms in their stable state have equal number of protons and electrons.If an atom loses one electron, it gains one positive charge- electrophile in terms or organic chemistry. If an atom gains one electrons it has overall negative charge or no charge if the incoming electron completes the valence occupancy.
