Does electron affinity gain electrons?
Yes. Electron affinity is the process by which a neutral atom gains an electron and the EA is the measure of energy released. The resulting ion will be negative.
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
What happened to the energyof an electron as it goes farther from the nucleus?
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
What happens to an electron during an electron transition?
Drops to a lower energy level and emits one photon of light.
What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
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.
Does electron affinity gain electrons?
Yes. Electron affinity is the process by which a neutral atom gains an electron and the EA is the measure of energy released. The resulting ion will be negative.
How is electron affinity different from electronegativity?
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.
How is affinity different from electronegativity?
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.
If a neutral atoms gains electron what type of particle is formed?
An electron has a negative charge, so if a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion. A negative ion is called an anion.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
What happens when a electron moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
What is the first electron affinity of magnesium and is it exothermic or endothermic?
The first electron affinity of magnesium is exothermic. This means that energy is released when a neutral magnesium atom gains an electron to form a magnesium ion.
If a neutral atom loses or gains an electron what is formed?
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
What is the relationship between the ionization energy of a mono-anion such as Cl - and the electron affinity of the neutral atom?
The ionization energy of a mono-anion such as Cl- is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the anion to form a neutral atom. Electron affinity is the energy released when an atom gains an electron to form an anion. They are related as the ionization energy of Cl- is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the electron affinity of the Cl atom.
