When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron that atom becomes?
ion that is positively charged
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 happens to an atom if it loses an electron?
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?
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.
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 is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it forms a positively charged ion. This ion is called a cation because it has more protons than electrons. The loss of an electron results in an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the formation of the cation.
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
