Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
an ion
One - assuming the atom is not an ion.
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
protons
