What is the charge on an atom that has gained 5 electrons?
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
When an element loses an electron what happens to the charge of the element?
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+
A molecule is an atom that has gained or lost an electron?
The answer is simply an "ion." The atom itself cannot be named until it has gained or lost an electron, in which it has lost an electron to become more positive, it would become a cation. If the ion had gained an electron to become more negatively charged, it is then named an anion.
What would be the charge on a negative ion?
A negative ion would have a charge of -1, indicating that it has gained one extra electron.
In an atom of antimatter what would be the charge of an electron?
An atom of antimatter does not contain any electrons. The equivalent of an electron in antimatter is a positron, which has charge +1.
How many in a charged chlorine atom?
A charged chlorine atom, or a chlorine ion, would have gained or lost an electron. If it gained an electron, it would have a charge of -1. If it lost an electron, it would have a charge of +1.
What is the charge on an atom that has gained 5 electrons?
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
If sodium lost one electron and chloride gained one electron what would be the ionic charges?
The ion of sodium would have a +1 charge (one electron short) and the chloride ion would be -1 (one extra electron). These are the actual ion forms in table salt, NaCl, when it is dissolved in water.
Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
Chlorine's charge would be negative because it gained an electron, which results in it having an extra negative charge.
When an element loses an electron what happens to the charge of the element?
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+

What would be the electrical charge of fluorine atom that gained an electron?
The fluorine atom, which normally has 9 protons and 9 electrons, will have a charge of -1 after gaining an electron. This is because it now has 10 negatively charged electrons and only 9 positively charged protons.
Why doesn't sodium gain a proton to get a positive charge?
Sodium typically loses an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration in its outer shell rather than gaining a proton, as protons are found in the nucleus and not easily gained or lost in chemical reactions. Sodium forms a positive charge by losing an electron to become a sodium cation (Na+).
What would be the charge on a negative ion?
A negative ion would have a charge of -1, indicating that it has gained one extra electron.
How many protons neutrons and electron respectively does 127 Iodine with negative charge?
Iodine has 53 protons. Iodine 127 has 74 neutrons. With a negative charge, it would have an extra electron, meaning it would have 54 electrons.
If an atom gains an electron would it have a negative or positive charge?
it would have a negative charge
A fluorine ion has 9 protons and a charge of 1 How many electrons are in an ion of fluorine?
A fluorine ion with a charge of 1 indicates that it has gained an extra electron, making it a fluoride ion. So, a fluoride ion would have 10 electrons (9 from the protons and 1 extra electron).
