What else can I help you with?
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
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged 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 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 slectron it becomes an?
If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
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 when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an 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.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
