An atom has three charges: protons which are +, electrons which are - and neutrons which have neither. They balance each other out. If electrons are lost, the atom now has more protons and the atom becomes positive.

When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as 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.
'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.
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.

If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive 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 gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
