What gives matter a charge?
Matter becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons. When an atom is neutral (no charge) it has an equal number of protons and electrons. But when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. When it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. Hope I helped! :)
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
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 an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
If an atom loses an electrons what will its resulting charge be?
An atom that loses one or more electrons becomes positively charged, because the number of protons (+) in the nucleus will outnumber the electrons (-).
When an atom loses electrons its charge become negative true or false?
False. When an atom loses electrons, its charge becomes positive since electrons have negative charges. Compare it to: 0 - -1 = 1
If an atom loses electrons it is left with a positive charge?
Yes. When an atom loses at least one of its electrons, it becomes a positively-charged ion.

An atom that has lost or gained electrons is an?
an ion
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
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 if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
When an atom loses its electrons what does it become?
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.
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
1) depends up on the the element basically: metals (electropositive elements) can donate nonmetals can(electro negative )elements can accpect the electrons 2)the result: if an atom losses the electron it becomes positively charged normally metals donate the electons and become + charged.
