What happens to a element A if its atom gains 2 electrons ?

Answered by admin @



Hello friend here's your answer

When atom A gains two electrons it forms an anion by developing 2 negative charges over it as there are 2 electrons more than the number of protons in the ion.
The overall equation is like
A+ 2e- -------》 A2e-
