An oxygen atom picks up two additional, free floating electrons. Is the charge of the newly formed oxygen ion positive, negative
2 answers:
Answer:The newly formed oxygen ion is negatively charged.
Explanation:
Cation : These are species of ions which carries positive charge that is number of protons are greater than the number of electrons.
Anion:These are species of ions which carries negative charge that is number of electrons are greater than the number of protons.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons it develops the charge of negative charge and forms anion.
