A neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).
When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
What else can I help you with?
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.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
If sodium loses its outer electron, it becomes a positively charged ion known as a sodium cation. This cation is stable and will seek to bond with other atoms or ions to achieve a full outer electron shell.
What happens when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?
an ionic compound is formed
What happens when a diatomic molecule loses an electron Does the bond weaken?
No, it is not correct to say that the bond energy always decreases when a diatomic molecule loses an electron. F2 and O2 are counterexamples to this point. When a molecule loses an electron, it will come from the highest occupied molecular orbital. In both O2 and F2, this MO is an antibonding MO. Removing an electron from an antibonding MO *increases* the bond energy.
When an atom loses an electron what happens to the atoms charge?
it gets a postive charge hope this helps good luck
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.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
How many atoms will rubidium gain?
Rubidium typically loses an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a 1+ cation. This means that rubidium gains no atoms; instead, it loses an electron to become a positively charged ion.
What happens when a sodium loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
