What else can I help you with?
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
What happenes to the charge of and atom when it gains electrons?
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a 2-charge?
An ion with a charge of 2- was an atom that lost 2 electrons to gain noble gas configuration.
Which charge does a balloon have when rubbed with a wooden sleeve?
When a balloon is rubbed with a wooden sleeve, it gains a negative charge. This happens because electrons are transferred from the atoms in the wooden sleeve to the atoms in the balloon, leaving the balloon with an excess of electrons and thus a negative charge.
What charge does an object gain if it gives electrons?
positive charge
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
How many electrons will sulfur gain or lose What will its charge be?
Sulfur, with its 6 valence electrons, will gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a charge of -2.
What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
What happens when a molecule is reduced?
It gain the electrons
How do atoms gain a charge?
An atom willreceive a charge when it becomes ionized. If the atom looses one of its electrons (-), then there are more protons (+) and it becomes a+1 charge (positive). If the atom gains an electron, then there are more electrons and it becomes a -1 (negative) charge. It depends on the electrons in the valence level (outer level) to decide if it will gain or lose electrons.
