They becomes negatively charged anions.
eg.
Cl2(g) + 2e- = 2Cl^(-)

What happens when chlorine atoms gain an electron in its outer energy shell?
what happen when an atom what has a lot of electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron
What 2 way are ions form from atoms?
1. Gain an electron. 2. Lose an electron.
What will happen to the atoms and molecules of a substance when it undergoes a chemical reaction?
The molecules will rearrange, giving off or absorbing energy. The atoms will be by and large unaffected (they might gain or loose an electron or two)
Will chlorine gain an electron?
Chlorine atoms have 7 outermost electrons and need to gain an electron to achieve the stability of a full valence shell.
Does N and Br gain or lose electron?
Nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons and form the nitride ion, N3-. Nitrogen atoms also form covalent bonds where they share 3 electrons and do not become ions. Bromine atoms gain 1 electron and form the bromide ion, Br-. Bromine atoms also form covalent bonds when they share 1 electron and do not become ions.
How atoms gain electron?
when an any atoms want to achieved a state of nearest an inert atom, its gain electron
What will happen to the molecules or atoms of a substance when it melts?
the atoms will begin to giggle around more as they gain thermal energy.
What happens when chlorine atoms gain an electron in its outer energy shell?
what happen when an atom what has a lot of electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron
What are electric charges answer?
Electric charge is the property of substance by virtue of it substance gain or loose electron if their is gain of electron then substance acquire negative charge if loose of elec then positive charge apper on it.

Will chlorine gain an electron?

Which atoms that gain or lose an electron?
For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve?
A stable electron configuration.
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?
an ionic compound is formed
If atoms of a halogen nonmetal gain one electron the atoms the have?
They become anions, with negative electrical charge.
Does N and Br gain or lose electron?
Nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons and form the nitride ion, N3-. Nitrogen atoms also form covalent bonds where they share 3 electrons and do not become ions. Bromine atoms gain 1 electron and form the bromide ion, Br-. Bromine atoms also form covalent bonds when they share 1 electron and do not become ions.
