Do helium atoms travel in circular paths?
they do but if they looses one electron they spin off of their circular path
What happens to atoms in chemicals reactions?
IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What forms when an atom has lost or gained electrons?
When an atom looses an electron is called "a cation, when gains is called an "anion".
What happens to an atom that looses a valance electron?
It becomes positively charged because the positive protons now outnumber the negative electrons.
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.

What happens to an atom when it looses an electron?
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
