When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?

When an electron is added to a unipositive ion, the resulting atom gains a negative charge and becomes a neutral atom. The electron neutralizes the positive charge of the ion, balancing the overall charge of the atom.


What happens to a neutral atom that accepts one electron?

The neutral atom then takes on a negative charge because the incoming electron has a negetive charge.


Is a positive ion an atom that has gained an electron?

No, an electron has a negative charge. Therefore, if an originally neutral atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge.


What is the charge of an atom that has an equal number of protons and electron?

It is a neutral atom


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


What neutral particles in an atom are called?

Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge


The neutral hydrogen atom consists of?

A neutral hydrogen atom consists of a single proton in its nucleus and a single electron orbiting the nucleus. The proton carries a positive charge, while the electron carries a negative charge. The overall charge of the neutral hydrogen atom is zero due to the equal and opposite charges of the proton and electron.


What are the 3 partcles of the atom?

Proton, neutron, and electron. A proton has a positive charge. A neutron is neutral (no charge) and an electron has a negative charge.


Where there is the same number of proton's as electron's the charge on the atom is considered?

neutral


When will an atom's charge be neutral?

after gaining or loosing valence electron or electrons


Why is the atom electrically neutral?

it is neutral because there are the same numbers of protons and electrons in an atom so the positive charge of the proton balances out the negative charge of an electron


Are atoms positive or negative?

Yes. It has both.The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.
