The atom becomes a negative ion.
What else can I help you with?
What has to happen in order for an atom to lose an electron?
For an atom to lose an electron, it must undergo the process of ionization where it gains enough energy to overcome the attraction of the nucleus and the electron is released. This can happen through various means such as exposure to high-energy radiation or collisions with other particles.
What would happen to an elements charge if you add or take away an electron?
It will change.
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
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.
What kind of atom tends to have one electron?
The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
What part of the atom does not add mass to it?
The electron.
What happen when a atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
How do you charge an atom?
remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...
Which component of an atom does not add to the atoms mass?
electron
What happen when atom an electron?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happen when you take way an electron and a proton?
I think you won't have a atom because the electron, proton and neutron is the basic part of the atom.
Is ionization energy required to add an electron to a netural atom?
Ionization energy is an expression linked to extraction of an electron.
What happen when a sodium atom that has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
What happens when you add an electron?
In this case the atom become an anion with the charge -1.
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
