The mass will increase because negative charge comes from the gain of electrons. Each electron weighs such a small amount that the change in mass would probably be undetectable since it takes about 1028 electrons to equal 1 gram.

What happens to the forces of attraction between charged objects and uncharged as the distance between them decreases?

As the distance decreases the attraction increases


How does a body become positively charged?

To charge it positively placed a negatively charge body near it. The positive charge of the sphere is attracted near to the surface close to the negatively charge body. To make it completely positive just earth it (by touching it). This process is known as induction. To charge a body negatively is similar to the aforementioned method.


How does lattice energy change with a change in the size of an ion?

Because the electrostatic force of attraction between opposite charges increases as the distance between the charges decreases, smaller ions produce stronger inter ionic attractions and greater lattice energies. When attraction between ions increases and the charge of the ion increases , the lattice energy increases. Down the groups in periods the lattice energy decreases


Why a balloon now negatively charged?

When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.


A positively charged ion will bond with?

A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)

What trend does electronegative following down the periodic table?

Electronegativity decreases along a period. This is because atomic radius increases increases, hence nuclear charge decreases.


How does an ion become Negatively charge?

it loses a proton or gains an electron


When moving left to right across the periodic table the atomic number increases and the atomic radius?

The atomic radius decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom


What trend does the electronegativity follow going down the periodic table?

Electronegativity decreases because the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.


How does size change in a period and in a group?

Atomic size decreases across a period as the effective nuclear charge increases. Atomic size increases down a group as the energy level (shells) increases.


What kind of charge will nonmetal possess when it gains electron?

Since electrons are negatively charged, a nonmetal which gains an electron will also become negatively charged.


What happens to an atom's overall charge if it gains an electron?

since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.


Why hydration energy decreases from top to bottom in group 1-a and increases from left to right in a period?

Hydration Energy Increases Significantly By Moving From Left To Right In A Period As The Charge To Size Ratio Increases.


If an atom gains electrons it become a?

If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge

As the distance decreases the attraction increases


What charge results when specific elements become an ion?

Either it loose electron or gain and if loose then it get positive charge and if gain then be negatively charged ion
