when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
An ionic molecule is formed.
They form an ionic compound.
no
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.
the atom becomes negatively charged
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
It shrinks loosing an electron.
They form an ionic compound.
They form an ionic compound.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
It becomes an anion.
When an electron is added to a unipositive ion, the resulting atom gains a negative charge and becomes a neutral atom. The electron neutralizes the positive charge of the ion, balancing the overall charge of the atom.
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
They form an ionic compound.
