What happens when an atom gains an electron?

Biology
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. 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.

You will research major earthquakes and pick one to answer the following questions:
levacccp [35]
Research major earthquakes on google, or another website. I would go with question 1, Where is your earthquake? I would do the Haiti earthquake where the earthquake is in Haiti. Do more research on Google, because I cannot provide you with a link to an article because Brainly will not allow me to do so. Just research "major earthquakes" in Google and you will be good to go. Hope this helped!

Why are protists considered the precursors to the eukaryotic diversity of life on the planet today
liubo4ka [24]

The protists belong to the kingdom Protista that comes under the domain Eukarya. Protists are a very broad group, comprising of various eukaryotes that do not fit into the other kingdoms, like animals, plants, and fungi. The protists were the initial eukaryotes.  

They would go on to become the precursors for each of the other eukaryotic kingdoms. By examining protists one can witness the transformation between the single-cell prokaryotes and modern multicellular eukaryotes.
