If an atom gains electrons it become a?

If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge


What is hydroxide made of?

Hydroxide (OH-) is a polyatomic ion made up of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom bonded together. It is a negatively charged ion that is commonly found in compounds like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).


Water molecule bonded to a sulfate ion?

When a water molecule bonds with a sulfate ion, the water molecule forms hydrogen bonds with the sulfate ion due to its high electronegativity. The hydrogen atoms in the water molecule can interact with the negatively charged oxygen atoms in the sulfate ion, while the lone pairs on the oxygen atoms in the water molecule can interact with the positively charged sulfur atom in the sulfate ion through hydrogen bonding.


If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?

an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).


A negatively charged atom or group of atoms?

Unless they are ions, atoms are neutrally charged. The negatively charged electrons orbitting the nucleus neutralized the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. neutrons do not have an electrical charge. ions are the exception to this, as they have either added or removed orbitting electrons. if an atom has electrons removed, then it is a positively charged cation. most metals form positively charged ions. if electrons are added, then it is a negatively charged anion. most non-metals form negatively charged ions.

A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.


What substance is formed when a negatively charged hydrogen atom bonds with hydroxide?

Water is formed when a positively charged hydrogen atom reacts with a hydroxide ion. Hydride ions react with water to form hydrogen.


What compare and contrast a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide ion?

A hydrogen ion (H+) is a positively charged ion formed when a hydrogen atom loses its electron. A hydroxide ion (OH-) is a negatively charged ion formed by the combination of a hydrogen ion and an oxygen atom. They are oppositely charged ions that combine to form water (H2O) in a neutralization reaction.


When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?

When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.


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.


In hydrochloric acid the hydrogen atom orients itself?

The hydrogen atom in hydrochloric acid orients itself so that it is attracted to the partially negative chloride ion. This orientation allows for the formation of a strong electrostatic attraction between the positively charged hydrogen atom and the negatively charged chloride ion.


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 ( - )


Is sodium atom or chloride ion negatively charged?

Sodium Atom


What is an electrically charged atom or molecule called?

An electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion. An ion can be either positively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion), depending on the number of electrons it has relative to its number of protons.


A charged atom is?

A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
