If an atom is missing an electron what does it become?

the atom would still be an atom it will just be called a neural atom


Would an ion be found in a atom?

An ion is an atom with a couple of extra electrons, or which is missing a couple. So when common table salt (NaCl) dissolves in water, it comes apart as a positively charged sodium ion Na+ which is missing an electron, and a negatively charged Cl- ion which has the extra electron from the sodium atom.


What is an atom called when it receives an electron?

i dont know ahahaahahahah Edit: That person is wow... anyways :) The atom becomes negatively charged. Are you talking about when an electron comes from a different element? Those are called ions :) If two share the same electron, that makes an ionic compound.


An atom with an extra electron becomes a?

Anion.


If a fluorine were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank charge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.


What is atom that has gained an electron to form a charged particle?

An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged particle called an anion. This occurs when the atom gains an extra electron and now has more electrons than protons, giving it a net negative charge.


What does the nucleus of the one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?

If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.


What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?

When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.


Why is fluoride ion larger than the fluoride atom?

The fluoride ion is larger than the fluoride atom because it has gained an extra electron, resulting in an increase in electron-electron repulsions, which causes the electron cloud to expand. This increase in electron-electron repulsions leads to a larger ionic radius compared to the atomic radius of the fluoride atom.


What is the consequence when an atom contains an extra electron?

It has a negative charge.


If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank chanrge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.


What does the nucleus of one want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?

If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
