The atom would stay the same size because it would still have the same amount of energy levels. The mass of the atom would be slightly less though.
No, an atom shrinks when loosing an electron.
There are less electrons ('-'charges) left that are attracted by the same number of protons ('+'charges) in nucleus, so the atraction per electron is stronger.
What else can I help you with?
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
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 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 happens when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
What happens when an atom loses an electron form its outermost shell?
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
What happens to a hydrogen atom to make it become a H plus?
It loses an electron
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When atom loses energy what happens to electron?
when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
What happens when an atom loses an electron in its outer most shell?
it becomes a positive ion
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy?
It becomes a positive ion.
What happens when an atom loses a electron from its outermost shell?
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
What do you think happens to the size of an atom when the atom lose an electron?
It shrinks loosing an electron.
