When the number of protons or electrons is not even (more protons than electrons or the opposite).
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
becomes an anion. Negatively charged.
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
Anion.
It becomes an anion.
If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
As Chlorine it is an ATOM. However, if it gains an electron to becomes Cl^(-) (Chloride) then it is an ANION.
becomes an anion. Negatively charged.
yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
