What is the charge on an atom after it gains two electrons during the formation of a bond?

One positive charge
Two positive charges
Two negative charges
One negative charge

Respuesta :

Answer:

Two Negative Charges

Explanation:

C. Two negative charges

  • 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.

Given condition: An atom gains two electrons during the formation of a bond.

As we know gaining an electron results in a negative charge and here two electrons being gained.

Therefore, the charge on it after gaining two electrons will be two negative charges.

Thus, the correct option is option C.
