What else can I help you with?
What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
Does high value of electron affinity for an atom means that it will gain electron easily?
Yes, that is part of the definition of electron affinity.
Why does a chlorine atom gain an electron when it forms an ion?
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
Does electron affinity gain electrons?
Yes. Electron affinity is the process by which a neutral atom gains an electron and the EA is the measure of energy released. The resulting ion will be negative.
When an atom lose or gain an electron?
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation
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.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron in contact with an atom that has gain an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
How atoms gain electron?
when an any atoms want to achieved a state of nearest an inert atom, its gain electron
What an atom has to do to become an ion?
Lose or gain an electron
Does a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom both gain electron?
No. A metallic atom will typically lose electrons.
What is the difference between electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy?
Electron affinity is the energy released when an atom gains an electron to form a negative ion, while electron gain enthalpy is the enthalpy change accompanying the addition of an electron to a gaseous atom. Electron affinity is a specific term used in the context of forming an ion, while electron gain enthalpy is a general term for the enthalpy change associated with gaining an electron.
What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
Why does an atom have charge?
The atom may gain or lose an electron either making it positive or negative.
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.
Does high value of electron affinity for an atom means that it will gain electron easily?
Yes, that is part of the definition of electron affinity.
Why does a chlorine atom gain an electron when it forms an ion?
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
What is the gain or loss of electrons?
An electron has a negative charge. If an atom loses an electron it creates an ion with a positive charge. If an atom gains an electron it creates an ion with a negative charge.
