∙ 13y agoSimple, it decreases. Electrons are negatively charged. To lose one leaves a positive charge behind. The size of the atom is determined by the electron cloud. Losing an electron will contract that cloud, making the atom smaller.

What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
What happens when a atom loses an electron?
Forms an ion. e.g if chlorine loses an electron it will go form Cl2 ---> cl2+
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an ion.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What do you call the energy involved when an atom loses an electron?
The amount of energy required to remove an electron form an at is the ionization energy.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When one atom loses an electron and another accepts that electron?
It depends on the exact situation. Probably ions Well this answer is vaguely correct. When an atom gains or loses an electron it becomes an ion. Ions with a net positive charge are called cations and ions with a net negative charge are anions. This allows for an ionic bond to occur. An ionic bond occurs when an anion binds with a cation.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
a neutral atom :)
10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?
To produce a negative ion (anion): an electron is gained. To produce a positive ion (cation): an electron is loss.
When chlorophyll p680 loses an electron from what atom does the chlorophyll receives an electron?
oxygen atom
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
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.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an atom loses an electron and become negatively charged we refer to it as an?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
What happens if atom loses electron?
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.
Which changes occurs when a barium atom loses two electrons?
It becomes a positive ion and its radius decrease
