Question

adding to an element will cause it to become a charged. adding to an element will its mass. electrons negatively increase ion neutrons

Explanation:

• Electrons: Adding electrons to an element changes its charge. Electrons are negatively - charged particles. When an element gains electrons, it has more negative charges than positive charges (protons), so it becomes a negatively - charged ion.
• Ion: An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
• Neutrons: Neutrons are neutral particles (no charge). The mass of an atom is mainly due to protons and neutrons (electrons have negligible mass compared to them). Adding neutrons increases the number of particles in the nucleus (along with protons, which also contribute to mass), so it increases the mass of the element.
• Increase: As neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom (mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons), adding neutrons will increase the mass of the element.

Answer:

Adding electrons to an element will cause it to become a negatively charged ion. Adding neutrons to an element will increase its mass.
