It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
It becomes a positive ion.
It becomes positive.
When a sodium atom loses an electron from its outer energy shell, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a sodium ion (Na⁺). This process occurs because sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, which it readily loses to achieve a more stable electron configuration, similar to that of the noble gases. The loss of this electron results in a full outer shell, making the sodium ion more stable and reactive in ionic compounds.
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.
Cesium typically loses one electron to form a Cs+ cation because it has one valence electron in its outermost electron shell.
the shell would never be empty, there would be another shell under it and it would have all of its valence electrons
it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion
When a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer shell, it forms a positively charged sodium ion (Na+). This process happens in order to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas, which typically have a full outer shell of electrons.
When a magnesium atom loses an electron from its outer energy shell, it forms a positively charged magnesium ion (Mg2+). This ion has a stable electron configuration by achieving a full outer energy level, which is characteristic of noble gases. Magnesium usually loses its two outermost electrons to form this stable ion.
The increase in ionic radius from silicon to phosphorus is due to the addition of an extra electron in the outermost shell of the atom. This added electron increases the electron-electron repulsion forces, causing the electron cloud to expand and the ionic radius to increase.
