Detailed explanation-1: -When these atoms gain electrons, they acquire a negative charge because they now possess more electrons than protons. Negatively charged ions are called anions. Most nonmetals become anions when they make ionic compounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -If an atom or molecule gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (an anion), and if it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (a cation).
Detailed explanation-3: -An anion is the name given to the negative ion of an element when it gain electrons and acquires a negative charge.
Detailed explanation-4: -If an atom gains electrons, it’s overall charge becomes negative. If an atom loses electrons, it’s overall charge becomes positive. If an atom gains/loses electrons, its mass will not change.
