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.
If an atom of iodine gains one electron it will have the same number of valence electrons as which element?
The same number of valence electrons as xenon.
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What is the name of a chlorine atom gains one electron?
When a chlorine atom gains one electron, it forms a chloride ion with a single negative charge.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
When an atom gains one or more electron it does what?
while an atom that gains electrons and becomes negatively charged is known as an anion
How does an atom becom a negative ion?
It becomes whenever it gains one or more electron.
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
When fluorine atom gains an electron it forms?
When a fluorine atom gains an electron, it forms a fluoride ion with a negative charge because it now has one more electron than protons. This gives it a full outer electron shell, making it more stable.
How is electron affinity from electronegative?
Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.
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 does an atom release more easily when it gains an electron?
An Electron
What type of bond is it when one atom gains or loses a valance electron from a different atom?
metallic bond
When an atom gains an electron or more it directly becomes negative ion?
True. An atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negative ion.
