When an atom loses two electrons it becomes +2, as Mg, Ca, Ba.
The ion would have two fewer negative charges so the ion would be more positive by +2
ANSWER : name of the element and 2- behind it
when it gains ---> always x-
when it loses ---> always x+
~where x stands for the element ~
good luck
It gets a charge of "-2"
+2 charge is added
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.

Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Copper loss electrons.
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
electric charge
Electrons have a negative charge. Therefore, an atom having extra electrons is a negative ion.
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
Ionization. That atom becomes a anion.
