Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?
Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
Does fluorine increase or decrease in size when it becomes an ion?
Fluorine decreases in size when it becomes an ion.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.

A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
What happen when you add an electron to an atom?
The atom becomes a negative ion.
What happen when atom an electron?
It becomes a negative ion.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What change will occur if an atom gains electrons?
The atom becomes a negative ion.
When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?
Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
When an atom loses an slectron it becomes an?
If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
How does an atom becom a negative ion?
It becomes whenever it gains one or more electron.
Does fluorine increase or decrease in size when it becomes an ion?
Fluorine decreases in size when it becomes an ion.
