electrons have a negative charge, so think of each electron as -1
protons are +1
and neutrons are...well they're neutral, so they're 0
if you lose electrons then it becomes more positive, so if it was already neutral then it will become positively charged
it could be that it was on -1 already as a total charge (so it was already negatively charged), so if this atom loses an electron then it will just become neutral
The object will become positively charged. For example, if you rub a balloon on your hair, your hair will lose electrons (positive charged) and the rubber balloon will gain electrons (negative charged). The difference in charges will attract each other.
In the case of an element, it will be called a positive ion. The positive ion of hydrogen (H+) is called a proton.
The object becomes positive.
It gets a negative (minus) electrical charge.
It becomes ionized: it gains a positive charge + & is called a cation
It becomes positively charged with a positive charge.
Becomes a positive Ion
nothing but it becomes a positive ion
negative
Since this is a metal it is going to lose electrons. Metals lose the electrons while nonmetals gain electrons.
Losing electrons the positive charges become bigger than negative charges.
They lose potential energy.
When metals lose their valence electrons they form positive ions, or cations.
is it true or false that atoms often lose proton but seldom lose or gain electrons
Gain or lose
Since this is a metal it is going to lose electrons. Metals lose the electrons while nonmetals gain electrons.
Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons
They lose electrons.
Losing electrons the positive charges become bigger than negative charges.
They lose potential energy.
The object disappears
If you heat copper it will oxidise and therefore lose electrons.
They lose 5/6ths of their weight, but none of there mass.
Metals lose electrons to become positively charged but stable. The electrons they lose are accepted by the non-metal to become negatively charged but stable.
When metals lose their valence electrons they form positive ions, or cations.
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
