If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
It loses a negative charge and then becomes 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.
An atom becomes charged when it either gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion); if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation). This process is known as ionization.
An ion.
Ion
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.
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
ion that is positively charged
