Question

A certain atom has 22 protons and 19 electrons. This atom loses an electron. The net charge on the atom is now ___.If this same
atom with 22 protons and 19 electrons were to gain 3 electrons, the net charge on the atom would be ____

Answer 1

Answer:

I think first one has net charge 4+

second one has earlier 3+ charge after gaining net charge becomes zero

I think this is correct

Explanation:

if wrong means pls correct me bro

Answer 2

An atom has 22 protons and 19 electrons. The net charge on the atom is now elementary, 1e+. If the same atom with 22 electrons and 19 electrons were to gain 3 electrons, the net charge on the atom would be, negative, -3.

What are electrons?

Electrons are the positively charged particles that revolve around the negatively charged nucleus. Electrons revolve around the nucleus, and protons and neutrons are also present.

When the electrons gain electron they acquire negative charge and when they donate electrons it acquires positive charge.

It gains 3 electrons that why -3 charge.

Thus, the correct elementary charge, negative, -3.
