What elements have a charge of negative 1?

No elements are negatively charged. A pure element is ALWAYS neutral. However an ANION is any element that has gained an electron as it bonds with another element, and a CATION is any element that has lost an electron as it bonds with another element. ANIONS are negative. CATIONS are positive. CATIONS and ANIONS are collectively knows as IONS.


What charge does the chlorine ion have?

it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.


How many electrons does a neutral fluoride atom contain?

Fluorine is the name of the element and has 9 electrons. Fluoride is the name of the halide ion, carries a 1- charge and has 10 electrons.


If 2 electrons where added to oxygen atom what would be the charge?

All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions. Gaining electrons- If atoms gain electrons then they are getting negatively charged particles making them have a negative charge. Losing electrons- If atoms lose electrons then they are losing a negative charge and they become a positively charged ion. Oxygen- Oxygen will have a negative charge before a positive charge because it needs only two electrons to have a stable valence level. For example, Oxygen will take the electrons from two Hydrogen atoms and make H20.


Why does chlorine have a negative charge?

Chloride forms a negative ion because of its number of valence electrons. Chloride wants to have 8 valence electrons. It only has 7. So for Chloride to have a full electron shell it accepts an electron from other elements. Because electrons have a negative charge, the extra electron that Chloride receives gives it a negative charge.

What charge is on an ion with 35 protons and 38 electrons?

By definition, every atom of every element must have the same number of protons as every atom of that same element. So, all you have to do is find which element has 35 protons. Look at the periodic table, and find the 35th listed element. That element is Bromine. So Bromine is the correct answer.


What is the relative charge of a electron?

Protons have positive charge and electrons negative


What happens to the charge of an atom when it gains electron?

The charge of the atom is no longer neutral because the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. Because the charge of the atom is now negative, it is now not a pure element, but an ion. An ion is an element that is no longer pure because it has gained or lost electrons. The charge of the ion is negative because it has more electrons than protons, and electrons have negative charges and protons have positive charges.
