What charge of an atom that loses electrons?
A Positive Charge.
What happens to the charge of an atom that loses electrons?
it gets positive charge
Is an atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
No. Electrons have a negative charge and so removing one from the atom will give it a positive charge.
Is the following sentence true or false An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
False. It an Atom is losing electrons, the negative charge is being removed. The resulting charge of the Atom is positive. Think of it this way, when you add the two pieces, do you get the same thing you started with? Neutral Atom (0) - Electron (-) = Positive Atom (+) in reverse Positive Atom (+) + Electron (-) = Neutral Atom (0)
When are ions formed?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
Why does it make sense that is an atom loses electrons it is left with a positive charge?

What is formed when a single atom of Krypton?
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
1) depends up on the the element basically: metals (electropositive elements) can donate nonmetals can(electro negative )elements can accpect the electrons 2)the result: if an atom losses the electron it becomes positively charged normally metals donate the electons and become + charged.
What is the charge and the name given to an atom that loses electrons?
when an atom loses an electron it becomes positive because it just lot a negetive part to its structure. The name given to these positively charged particles is Cation
When an atom loses electrons its charge become negative true or false?
False. When an atom loses electrons, its charge becomes positive since electrons have negative charges. Compare it to: 0 - -1 = 1
What do we call an atom that has an overall positive charge?
An atom with an overall positive charge is called a cation. Cations are formed when an atom loses electrons, leaving it with fewer electrons than protons, resulting in a net positive charge.
Why does it make sense that if an atom loses electrons it is left with a positive charge?
