No, they become positively charged, because electrons carry a negative charge, and by losing an electron they lose one of the charges that previously balanced out the positive charges from the protons, becoming a positively charged ion.

Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
Atoms become magnets when there?
electrons are properly arranged
Does boron become positive or negative when it loses electrons?
All atoms become positive ions when they lose electrons, and negative when they gain electrons.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Why do Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become an ion?
bcc it's the same

When atoms lose electrons in an ionic bond what do they become?
These atoms become anions.
Charges of atoms are changed by the movement of?
Charges are changed by the movement of electrons to or from an atom.
Electrons in bonds remain localized between two atoms Electrons in bonds can become delocalized between more than two atoms?

What are the properties of a substance that make it conductive?
The main property of a substance that make it either conduct or insulate is electro-negativity. Electro-negativity is a substances "willingness," so to speak, to give up electrons. Most transition metals have high electro-negativity, and thus conduct well. Another thing about all metals that make them conductive is the way their atoms interact. Metallic atoms engage in metallic bonding which is where a group of metal atoms lump together and form sort of a giant atom with the nuclei (separated) in the middle, and all the electrons speeding about on the outside.
Does boron become positive or negative when it loses electrons?
All atoms become positive ions when they lose electrons, and negative when they gain electrons.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
An atom becomes and ion with a change of?
The number if electrons it has. Neutral atoms have the same number of protons (pos charge) as electrons (neg charge). When atoms gain or lose electrons (to become more stable), they become ions.
