Loosing electrons means little when compared to the original atom... The only difference with the atom at its new state is that it is now considered a cation. Cations are (put simply) atoms that have lost a single electron (valence or not), and now consist a positive charge rather than neutral.
The only time a valence electron is removed from its orbital is when a bond occurs. But a valence electron will always be a valence electron otherwise.
then it becomes sodium ions as every atom has tendency to attain inert gas configuration
A positive ion with a radius smaller than the radius of this atom.
A positive one?
It will become a soft ion.
For an atom to form an ion, it has to either gain or lose one or more electrons. Usually this happens during a chemical reaction, when an element gains or loses electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An atom can become positive if it loses an electron. For example if the atom had five protons and five electrons, then loses an electron, it would have more protons making it more positive than negative.
An atom gains a net charge by losing or gaining one or more electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively charged ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it will become a negatively charged ion.
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
An atom which has lost an electrons forms a positive ion which is called cation. ANSWER: ADDENDUM A nucleus does not loose an electrons it just has temporarily misplaced an electrons by am external force. That electron will be practically replace immediately by an electron from the next nucleus that is how electron current is generated and sustained
When it loses one or more of its outer electrons.
An atom loses electrons through an ionic bond when it is a metal. This is because it will become stable more easily when it loses electrons than when it gains them.
An atom that loses one or more electrons is an ion, specifically a cation.
An atom that loses one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion.
For an atom to form an ion, it has to either gain or lose one or more electrons. Usually this happens during a chemical reaction, when an element gains or loses electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
This atom become a positive ion (cation).
An atom can become positive if it loses an electron. For example if the atom had five protons and five electrons, then loses an electron, it would have more protons making it more positive than negative.
Positive ions form when an atom or group of atoms loses one or more electrons.
An atom that loses one or more electrons becomes positively charged, because the number of protons (+) in the nucleus will outnumber the electrons (-).
An atom gains a net charge by losing or gaining one or more electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively charged ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it will become a negatively charged ion.
If an atom loses an electron (electrons are negative), the atom becomes 'less negative' which means 'more positive'. Atoms are normally neutral (no charge), so losing one electron gives it a positive charge. When an atom has a charge it is called an ION. So the atom becomes a Positively Charged Ion.
