An atom gives up an electron to form a positive ion?
yep
Which type of atom becomes positive and why?
an atom becomes positive when that atom gives their electron to other atom....when the atom reacts it is called ion not atom... so that means that ion has charge of ion+..... atom has to give or take( in this case give) electron to make their outer most shell full
What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
What happens to the atom that causes a neutral object to become charged?
Normally when an atom gives another atom a positive or negative charge it's because it donated or accepted an electron.
Which electron are the valence electrons of the atom?
The correct answer is: The electrons farthest away from the nucleus... chris ellis
Why does a sodium atom have a positive charge?
Sodium gives away an electron, thus becoming positively charged.
What gives the atom its chemical properties?
the electron
When an atom gives up an electron what is formed?
ions
When is an electron a valence electron?
when it is on the very outside level away from the nucleusA valence electron is one that occupies the highest energy level for any electron in a particular neutral atom. (There may be more than one such electron in a single atom.)It is an electron in the outermost shell of the atom.
An atom gives up an electron to form a positive ion?
yep
What happens then a sodium atom and a clorine atom exchange an electron?
The sodium atom gives an electron to the chlorine atom to make the sodium and chloride ions respectively. Then they form ionic bonds forming sodium chloride.
Can atoms be ionized by changing the number of positive charges?
Ionizing is when you rip an electron away. so by taking an electron away, the atom is ionized
What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.

What is the neutral part of an atom that gives the atom more mass?
Neutron. It is electrically neutral, and coincidentally about as massive as a proton plus an electron.
When atom loses energy what happens to electron?
when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
