What is the electrical charge if an atom that has gained an electron? A.neutral B.positive C.negative D.zero

OpenStudy (foxyisflash1.0):

If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.

thanks

OpenStudy (queenbb):

so it zero

OpenStudy (sooobored):

generally the charge of a electron is -1.60217662 × 10^-19 coulombs but if you add one electron, its written as -1e

OpenStudy (queenbb):

is it a,b,c,d

OpenStudy (sooobored):

no a,b,c,d given

OpenStudy (queenbb):

oh one sec

OpenStudy (queenbb):

A.neutral B.positive C.negative D.zero

OpenStudy (queenbb):

somebody

OpenStudy (sooobored):

electrons have a negative charge, if you add a negative charge to something thats neutral then the resultant charge is ?

OpenStudy (queenbb):

umm
