Want this question answered?
This atom become a cation (positive).
An atom acquires a charge by losing or gaining electrons.
the electrons are the charge carries in an atom
Positive. The only (typical) parts of atoms that move are electrons which have a negative charge; therefore, if a neutral atom loses an amount of electrons (negative charges), the atom has more positive charges (from the protons) than negative charges which makes the atom positively charged overall.
well i think its an ion
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
An atom gains a positive charge by losing electrons.
Electrons move around the nucleus and they have a negative charge.
The three main subatomic particles that form an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The center of the atom is called the nucleus.The protons have a positive charge, the neutrons have no charge, and the electrons have a negative charge.
The electron, which moves around the core or nucleus and has a negative charge equal to the positive charge of the protons
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.
False. It an Atom is losing electrons, the negative charge is being removed. The resulting charge of the Atom is positive. Think of it this way, when you add the two pieces, do you get the same thing you started with? Neutral Atom (0) - Electron (-) = Positive Atom (+) in reverse Positive Atom (+) + Electron (-) = Neutral Atom (0)
