  1. isotope or ion im not sure look these two up

    EDIT: Its an ion


  2. Then it is called an anion or a negative ion

  3. what happens?

    then it becomes very reactiveable to other matters. it can give it's electron away. f.ex current, mixing of matters etc

  4. It depends how many more electrons it has than protons. If it has 4 or more you add electrons till the shell is full and then you write  - (how many electrons you added) if it has less than 4 you take them away and  for the charge you write + (how many electrons you took away). And that's called a ION. It a matter of losing or gaining electrons.

  5. Then it has a what is called a net negative charge (Electrons(-) - Protons(+)).
