If an ion gains an electron that means the ion will be negatively charged.The name of that ion is called anion. On the other hand, if it loses and electron the ion will be positively charged, and the name of that ion is called cation.
Ion
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
An atom that has gained or lost an electron becomes an ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
Na⁺ represents a positively charged sodium ion and a sodium ion that has lost an electron. It indicates that the sodium atom has one more proton than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. It does not represent a negatively charged sodium ion or a sodium ion that has gained an electron.
Ion
No, an electron has a negative charge. Therefore, if an originally neutral atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge.
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
Atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons are called ions.An atom that has gained and electron is an anion; and atom that has lost an electron is a cation. Gaining an electron means the anion has a negative charge; losing one or more electrons means the atom has a positive charge.
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.
The chloride ion in salt has a charge of -1. It is derived from an atom of chlorine that has gained one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a negative charge.
Gained or lost electron(s).
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
There are 19 protons in an ion with 18 electrons and a -1 charge. The -1 charge indicates that the ion has gained an extra electron, resulting in one more electron than protons.
An atom that has gained or lost an electron becomes an ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
The chloride ion (Cl-) has gained an electron, giving it a negative charge of 1-. This means that the ion now has one more electron than protons, resulting in an overall negative charge.
