Which term describes the particle that results when an electron is added to an atom?

It depends. If you are talking about electron capture at the molecular level, then when a neutral atom (or molecule) absorbs a negatively charged electron, it becomes negatively charged. All charged atoms (or molecules) are called ions, and a negatively charged ion is called an anion.
.
If, on the other hand, you are talking about electron capture by the nucleus of an atom, then when a positively charged proton absorbs a negatively charged electron, the proton converts into a neutrally charged neutron and immediately emits a neutrally charged electron neutrino.

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
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
What causes the sheilding effect to remain constant across a period?
Electron shielding is not a factor across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells! No further (extra) shells means that they are all affected by electron shielding equally.
What element would be an electron poor semiconductor when added to silicon As Be B Al or none?
B
Why sulphur have higher negative electron affinity than oxygen?
Due to small size and high electron density of oxygen compared to sulphur, interelectronic repulsion is higher in oxygen, resulting in less energy being released when an electron is added to oxygen, due to lesser stability after electron is added, which is due to the interelectronic repulsion in the small oxygen atom. Hence electron affinity value is lower. It is an abnormality and exception to the general periodic trend of electronic affinity values.
What type of charged particle is formed when an electron is added to an atom?
anion
Why we cannot see the salt particle when it is added to the water?
We cannot see the salt particle when it is added to the water because it dissolves
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
Why is an atom which accepts an electron called reduced instead of oxidized?
An atom that accepts an electron is called reduced because it gains electrons, which leads to a reduction in its oxidation state. In a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, the atom that accepts electrons is undergoing reduction, not oxidation.
What subatomic particle is removed or added to the amber?
Electrons
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
When a radioactive isotope emits a its atomic number increases?
a beta particle. the nucleus is made of protons (+) and neutrons. but neutrons can transform into an electron and a proton. when that happens in the nucleus, the proton stays in the nucleus while the electron shoots out at incredibly high speeds. that high speed electron is called a beta particle. the proton that stays is added to the other protons to increase the atomic number
How does the size vary with the number of electron added in the formation of anion?
When an electron is added to an atom, its size increases due to increase in repulsions between the electrons.
Which subatomic particle is added to make an atom an ion?
nuetron
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
If enough energy was added to remove an electron for calcium which energy level would the electron be removed?
The 3s.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
