It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)

What happens when an atom that looses an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
An ionic molecule is formed.
What is an atom when it looses an electron?
It becomes a positively charged ion.
What will be the nature of charge on an atom when it looses an electron or gain an electron?
Aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, and neon
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
What forms when an atom has lost or gained electrons?
When an atom looses an electron is called "a cation, when gains is called an "anion".
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
How does an atom maintain a positive charge?
if it looses an electron
What happens when an atom that looses an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
An ionic molecule is formed.
What is an atom when it looses an electron?
It becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
What happens to an atom when it looses an electron?
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
What soes an atom become when it losses or get an electron?
If it looses an electron, it becomes positively charged. If it gains one, it becomes negatively charged. These charged species are collectively called ions.
How does an atom becone an ion?
An atom looses or gains electron to become ion. Ions are +ve and -ve atoms.
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
What is the name of an atom that loses an electron?
== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.== ==when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increaseswhen it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
