This atom become a cation with a +2 electrical charge. All atoms have are neutral because the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. When you subtract any number n of electrons, the new charge is +n, just as a general rule.

An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
What is the loss or gain of an electron?
electrons... and thus one unit of negative charge....
In an atom the particles with a negative charge are called what?
a particle with a negative charge in an atom is an electron
What is the subatomic particle with a mass number of zero and a charge of -1?
In the atom a proton has the charge +1 and the electron the charge -1.
Why does accepting an electron cause this atom to take on a partially negative charge?
Every electron has an electrical charge of minus one. If an electron is added to an atom, then the atom also acquires this electrical charge. If an electron is shared by an atom (by means of a covalent bond) then the atom will acquire a partial negative charge, since it doesn't have all of the electron or all of its charge.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What difference between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What is gained or lost in an atom to give it an electrical charge?
Electron(s).
An atom that has lost or gained an electron resulting in a net charge?
positive
What is the charge of a sodium atom that has lost 1 electron why?
The charge is 1+ because the cation is negative.
What would be the electrical charge of a sodium atom that lost an electron?
if a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from a sodium atom it would become positively charged APEX
When a atom has a positive or negative charge beause it lost or gained an electron is a?
An atom has a postitive charge when it loses an electron and a negative when it gains one. It then becomes an ion through this process.
A molecule is an atom that has gained or lost an electron?
The answer is simply an "ion." The atom itself cannot be named until it has gained or lost an electron, in which it has lost an electron to become more positive, it would become a cation. If the ion had gained an electron to become more negatively charged, it is then named an anion.
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
What can you infer about ion that has an positive charge?
This ion is derived from atom who lost one electron.
Do the symbol Na represents a sodium atom that has lost an electrons?
No. Na is the chemical sign for any sodium atom. The sign for ^^ is Na+1. No, I didn't make a mistake with the + or -. The + is for the charge. The electron has -1 charge, and 0-(-1)=1 (or +1). So the charge of a sodium atom with one lost electron is +1.
The removal of an electron results to what charge?
+1. Because an atom normally has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is neutral. By removing a negative (the electron), the atom is then positive. The more electrons you remove, the more positive the atom becomes. Then, it is called an ion, such as Cu is copper, but Cu2+ is a copper(II) ion; it is a copper atom that has lost two electrons.
