Answer:

a) an atom that has either gained or lost electron(s)

Explanation:

A neutral atom is an atom that has equal numbers of protons and electrons, its charge is neutral. These atoms are not stable (exceptions are the noble gases), so they need to gain, lose or share electrons to be stable.

When an atom gains or loses electrons, it became an ion, and its charge will not be more neutral. If it gains electrons (which are negative particles) it will have a negative charge and will be called anion; if it loses electrons, it will have a positive charge and will be called cation.

Which element can expand its valence shell to accommodate more than eight electrons? which element can expand its valence shell
Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>According to octet rule,  atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine  with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.

However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.

In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet. 

While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell. </span>
