an ion
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.
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.
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.
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.
they form an ionic bond (:
the atom would still be an atom it will just be called a neural 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.
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.
Anion.
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.
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.
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.

It has a negative charge.
