Want this question answered?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
Electrons are negatively charged. When an atom gains an electron it gains this negative charge, and so it becomes negative. When it loses it again it has lost that negative charge and becomes more positive.
A cation.
it becomes positive
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
It becomes a positive ion.
When a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, the atom becomes a positive ion.
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
Yes. When an atom loses at least one of its electrons, it becomes a positively-charged ion.
A positive ion. Originally atoms have a neutral charge with equal amount of electrons and protons. If atom loses electrons, it still has the same amount of protons so it becomes a positive ion
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
False. When an atom loses electrons, its charge becomes positive since electrons have negative charges. Compare it to: 0 - -1 = 1
It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
