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+
What else can I help you with?
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
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.
What is a negatively charged atom of chlorine called?
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
When an atom gains an electron to be stable it becomes?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
When an atom loses an electron and become negatively charged we refer to it as an?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an electron is gained the atom become an?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.

What is a charged atom?
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
What is a negatively charged atom of chlorine called?
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
When an atom gains an electron to be stable it becomes?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
What charge does a neutral atom become when an electron is added?
It will become negative by electron addition, because electrons are negatively charged, -1. It is then called an ion.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
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.
