When helium loses electron it becomes?
it turns to hydrogen
What happens to metal in an ionic compound?
It becomes a cation - loses electrons
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
Which element in an ionic bond loses electrons?

If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
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 happens when atoms loses an electron?
AnswerA 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 happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
Which element has only 1 electron and behaves like a alkali metal?
The element Hydrogen (H) has only 1 electron. When it loses it, it becomes the Ion H+.
If an atom loses electrons or becomes a positive ion it becomes?
A cation.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
