a it becomes positively b it becomes negatively 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
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
It becomes positive.
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
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.
It loses an electron
it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion.
It becomes a positive ion
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
When cesium forms an ion, it loses one electron to become Cs+ with a full outer electron shell. This results in the formation of a cation with a positive charge due to the loss of one electron.
