What is the term for a reaction in which a substrate gains electrons?
gain of electrons = reduction
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
If an atom has six or seven valence electrons it is more stable if it electrons to fill the octet becoming a ion?
Gains, Positive

What is the term for a reaction in which a substances gains electrons?
When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.

In an oxidation reaction a molecule atom or ion losses electrons or gains?
losses electrons

When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
How do you determine if a chemical reaction is a redox reaction?
A redox reaction can be determined by looking at whether there is a transfer of electrons between the reactants. If one substance loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction), then it is a redox reaction.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
Do nitrogen lose or gain electrons?
In chemical reaction nitrogen generally gains electrons.
