As written, there's some ambiguity in the question, but the answer is probably "+2" assuming the atom was neutral to start with and that the two outer-shell electrons were the only electrons lost.
What else can I help you with?
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What charge will a Sodium atom have if it loses one electron?
The Sodium atom with be positively charged [it will have a single positive charge]
When an atom loses electron what do molecules do?
When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
What is the final charge of an atom that has a charge of -18 but then loses one electron?
-17
What happens if atom loses electron?
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.
What is the gain or loss of electrons?
An electron has a negative charge. If an atom loses an electron it creates an ion with a positive charge. If an atom gains an electron it creates an ion with a negative charge.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
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.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
What is the name of an atom that looses one electron?
An atom that loses one electron is called a cation. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged due to the imbalance between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). For example, when a sodium atom (Na) loses one electron, it forms a sodium cation (Na⁺).
