== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.
== ==
when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increases
when it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
The name is proton.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
An atom that loses one electron is called a cation. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged due to the imbalance between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). For example, when a sodium atom (Na) loses one electron, it forms a sodium cation (Na⁺).
When a metal atom loses an electron, it loses energy. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the electron's initial position and its final position outside the atom.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
The symbol for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron is K+, and is named the potassium ion.
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
