It is said to be reduced.

NAD + ---> NADH

NAD + reduced to NADH because the charge is reduced from positive to neutral. Never did like that explanation, but it comes from the 19th century and is still in use today.

Why are ions made?

Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.


What forms from a neutral atom or molecule by adding electrons to it?

Anion. An anion is formed when a neutral atom or molecule gains one or more electrons, resulting in a negative charge due to an excess of electrons compared to protons.


When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?

When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons.

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.

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.


When an atom gains an electron or more it directly becomes negative ion?

True. An atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negative ion.
