What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
What kind of atom tends to have one electron?
The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?
The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.
What type of charge does an atom have when it gaines an electron?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. A neutrally charged atom which gains an electron will gain a negative charge.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
Is an electron in a hydrogen atom the same as an electron in a uranium atom?
yes
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What kind of atom tends to have one electron?
The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
When is electron a valence electron?
A valence electron is one that occupies the highest energy level for any electron in a particular neutral atom. (There may be more than one such electron in a single atom.) It is an electron in the outermost shell of the atom.
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
