It will become a soft ion.
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
Ion.
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
When a sodium atom loses a valence electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na+). When a sodium atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na-).
Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
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 it becomes a positively charged ion.
