When an atom lose electrons become a cation (positively charged).


A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of what?

A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of one or more electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because there are more protons than electrons in the atom, creating an overall positive charge.


When an atom loses an electron the atom becomes an ion is?

Its charge lose an negative charge. So it is positively charged. +1

What the charge of the nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus is the positively charged central mass of an atom.


If a hydrogen atom loses its electron does it become a negative?

No, if a hydrogen atom loses its electron, it becomes a positively charged hydrogen ion (H+). This is because the electron carries a negative charge, and when it is removed from the atom, the remaining proton in the nucleus gives the atom a net positive charge.


What are positively charged particles in an atom called?

Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons. They are located in the nucleus of the atom and their positive charge balances the negative charge of electrons to keep the atom electrically neutral.


What is the charge of the electron of an atom?

The electrons in an atom are negatively charged, the protons in an atom are positively charged and the neutrons of an atom are neutrally charged (they have no charge).Hope this Helps!


How does a neutron become positively charged?

A neutron has a neutral charge. The atom itself consists of protons neutrons and electrons. Neutrons do not serve much purpose except holding the protons in the nucleus and making different isotopes. An atom can become positively charged if it looses an electron which originally carried a negative charge. If that atom were to gain an electron it would become negatively charged.
