These are referred to as ions, of which they are two types. Cations and Anions, the first (CATION) being the result of a particle that looses one or more electrons and gains a positive charge and the latter being the opposite; gaining thus becoming negative (ANION)

What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?

A positive charge


When an object loses electrons it acquires an electric charge of?

It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.


What is a particle that loses electrons and acquires a positive charge?

A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons and thus became a positively charged particle.


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


A body acquires positive chargewhat is this mean?

it means it loses its electron to acquire (+)charge


Is an object's net charge positive or negative if it loses electrons?

An object's net charge becomes positive if it loses electrons because it has an excess of positive protons relative to negative electrons.


If an atom that loses electrons is it positive or negative?

It will be positive.


What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?

An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.


When an element loses electrons it forms a positive or negative charge?

When an element loses electrons, it forms a positive charge because it has more protons (positively charged particles) than electrons. Positive charges are formed because electrons, which are negatively charged, are lost in the process.


What are electrically changed atoms called?

Electrically charged atoms are called ions. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it acquires a net electrical charge, resulting in a positive ion (cation) if it loses electrons or a negative ion (anion) if it gains electrons. Ions play crucial roles in chemical reactions and electrical conductivity in various substances.


How do particles become charged?

Particles become charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion with a positive or negative charge. Charged particles can also be created by processes like friction or induction, which can result in the transfer of electrons between objects.


What do you call atoms that gain or loose electrons?
