No, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes an ion, specifically a negatively charged ion called an anion. Isotopes, on the other hand, are variants of a chemical element that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not in their electron count. The gain or loss of electrons affects the atom's charge but does not change its identity as an isotope.
What else can I help you with?
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.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
When a atom gaines a electron?
When an atom gains an electron the no of negatively charged particles increases inside the atom and the atom gets negatively charged.
What do you call an atom that is both an ion and an isotope?
You call it an ion of that isotope. Let's use carbon-14 for example. If a carbon-14 atom gains/loses an electron, you simply call it a "carbon-14 ion".
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
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 does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it forms a positively charged ion. This ion is called a cation because it has more protons than electrons. The loss of an electron results in an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the formation of the cation.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
What does an atom release more easily when it gains an electron?
An Electron
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
What does a hydrogen contain?
A hydrogen molecule only consists of one hydrogen atom, while a hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron while in its atom state. When it ionises it gains another electron to have a full inner shell of two electrons. The most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons but can have an isotope with one neutron.
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
What atom that gains an electron is called?
an anion
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
