Atoms do not leave electrons!

Electrons leave from the outer orbit of an atom and join the outermost orbit of another atom when there is a chemical reaction involved between the two atoms .

Why is the ionosphere more highly ionized during the day light hours than it is at night?

One reason I can think of is that photons from the sun will excite the electrons to a high enough state that they leave the atoms, therefore you have ionized atoms and electrons. When it's night and there are no photons, many of the electrons would attract back to the positively charged ions to form uncharged atoms.
