If an atom's charge becomes +2, what does that say about the atom?

• I am sharing 2 electrons

• I am losing 2 electrons

• I am in period 2

• I have an atomic number of 2

If an atom gains electrons I become

• Positive because it has added to its atom

• negative because it has added electrons

• same because it's balanced

• equal because now it has electrons
