How does an atom become a negative ion?

Answers

Answered by hearhackerakshitha2

Answer:

A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

Answer:

The atom that has lost an electron becomes a positively charged ion (called a cation), while the atom that picks up the extra electron becomes a negatively charged ion (called an anion). Opposite charges attract one another while similar charges repel one another.
