Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
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.
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
An ion with a charge of 2- was an atom that lost 2 electrons to gain noble gas configuration.
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.
positive charge
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
Sulfur, with its 6 valence electrons, will gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a charge of -2.
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
It gain the electrons
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.
