Question

Test review, If a atom loses electrons what charge does it get? What about when it gains electrons?

Answer 1

If it loses electrons, it becomes positive because electrons are e-

You figure out the other.

Answer 2

It becomes more positively charged because it lost negative charges and protons have a positive charge. If it gains electrons, the atom becomes more negatively charged.

Answer 3

If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positive. If it gains, it becomes negative.

Answer 4

Losing negatively charged electrons leaves the atom positively charged.

Gaining negatively charged electrons leaves the atom negatively charged.

Answer 5

electrons have a negative charge, so for each electron lost, the charge changes +1 and for each electron gained, the charge changes -1

Answer 6

When it loses electrons,there are more protons so it is positive charge.

if it gains electrons,there are less protons,sothe overall charge is negative because they can't cancel each other out.
