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.
