Question

If I gain electrons I become______.

  1. Positive
  2. Negative
  3. Same
  4. Neutral

hintHint:

By gaining electrons an atom becomes electron rich.

The correct answer is: Negative


    • Atom on its own is neutral.
    • When an atom loses electrons it becomes a cation and is positively charged. 
    • When an atom gains an electron it becomes an anion and is negatively charged. 
    • If I gain electrons I become negative.
