It becomes an ion. Ions are atoms that have either lost or gained an electron. Since this on lost an electron, it got a positive 1 charge.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When a metal loses an electron, it undergoes oxidation. During this process, the metal atom loses one or more electrons to form a positively charged ion called a cation. This occurs when the metal atom donates its outermost electrons to another atom or molecule with a higher affinity for electrons.
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.
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When a metal atom loses an electron, it loses energy. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the electron's initial position and its final position outside the atom.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
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.
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 atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
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.
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
When a metal loses an electron, it undergoes oxidation. During this process, the metal atom loses one or more electrons to form a positively charged ion called a cation. This occurs when the metal atom donates its outermost electrons to another atom or molecule with a higher affinity for electrons.
