Any atom will have a net positive charge if it loses electrons (the negative particles in the atom). The reason is the atom now has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges) so it becomes a positive ion. Although, through various processes, many different atoms can be stripped of one or more electrons and thus take on a positive charge, the elements on the left side of the Periodic Table, in the first two columns, are the ones that tend to give up electrons during chemical reactions so they are positive ions; also called cations in ionic bonding.

∙ 9y agoWhen an atom loses electrons it will have a net positive charge and is would be called a cation. The word "ion" could also be used to describe an atom that has a net positive charge.

This part of an atom carries a positive charge?
The proton of an atom carries the positive charge.
Which particle of the atom has a positive charge?
protons have positive charge
What is the charge of just the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. The negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus more or less balances out the positive charge.
What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.

Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
An atom with a positive net charge is called?
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
This part of an atom carries a positive charge?
The proton of an atom carries the positive charge.
Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an atom?
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
