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.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
It loses an electron
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion.
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
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
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
