Adding electrons to an atom will result in-

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Anion.
· When electrons are added to an atom, it gains a negative charge and becomes an anion (a negatively charged ion). This is because electrons carry a negative charge, so adding them increases the negative charge of the atom.
Information Booster:
· Molecule: A molecule is formed when two or more atoms bond together, but adding electrons to a single atom does not create a molecule.
· Neutron: Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Adding electrons does not affect the number of neutrons.
· Cation: A cation is a positively charged ion, which occurs when an atom loses electrons, not gains them.
