when an element gains and electrons it becomes negativly charged. Well and example of a negative ion would be fluorine and chlorine they are represented as
F- Cl- the superscript negative symbol means that the number of electrons
and protons are not equal because the element has gained electrons to gain
a full valence shell (outer shelll) if they gain more then 1 electron you simply
put the number beside the negative symbol like 2 3
For the loss of electrons that means the symbol becomes positive
and it would be the the alkali metals like litium and magnesium
Li+ Mg+
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
It will become negative by electron addition, because electrons are negatively charged, -1. It is then called an ion.
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
