Its oxidation state decreases by 1
If its oxidation state was 0 before it gained the electron, the the new oxidation state becomes -1, and that ion is now called an anion
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
If an ion gains an electron that means the ion will be negatively charged.The name of that ion is called anion. On the other hand, if it loses and electron the ion will be positively charged, and the name of that ion is called cation.
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
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.
It will be a negative ion, or in other words, a anion.
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
It becomes a negative ion.
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
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.
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
Bromine gains an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration and forms the bromide ion with a negative charge. This process is called reduction as bromine is gaining an electron.
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
If an ion gains an electron that means the ion will be negatively charged.The name of that ion is called anion. On the other hand, if it loses and electron the ion will be positively charged, and the name of that ion is called cation.
It turns into a nice, safe chloride ion, which is the most common negative ion in your body.
