A cation (positive ion) is formed, with an electrical charge + 1.
More electrons removed - the positive electrical charge will be greater.
When an electron leaves an atom the atom that lost the electron becomes a positively charged ion (a cation), and the atom that gains the lost electron becomes a negatively charged ion (an anion). Cations and anions usually attract each other (much like magnets do) and form ionic compounds, usually with a crystal structure; salts. The most commonly known ionic compound is Sodium Chloride, table salt.
If one or more electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes positively charged and turns into an ion.
The neutral atom become a cation (positive ion).
the atom gets positively charged.
it becomes a positively charged ion.
cations are formed
This atom become an ion (cation).

A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
nothing, they both even out!
The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.
Normally when an atom gives another atom a positive or negative charge it's because it donated or accepted an electron.
Well, an atom that loses an electron does not just "lose" it in space, the electron is taken away by another atom or molecule. So the electron sticks to the new molecule and forms an ion with a charge (given that the original atom was a neutral one). When this happens inside the body some really dangerous compounds can be formed, these are called "free radicals"
The neutral atom then takes on a negative charge because the incoming electron has a negetive charge.
the atom becomes negatively charged
The neutral atom become an ion (cation) with the charge +1.
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
Electron/s are removed from the atom.
there are 11 electron is a neutral atom of sodium
As a neutral atom lose an electron then it becomes a positive ion As it gains an electron then it becomes a negative ion
Then this atom will become an anion (negatively charged) Example: Cl + e- --> Cl-
a neutral atom :)
nothing, they both even out!
The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
