When this part of an atom moves to another atom the losing atom has what charge?
Mcurtis0644
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.

The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
Charge of an atom?
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
What term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an ion.
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.
What kind of charge does an atom have after losing an electron?
This atom become a cation (positive).
How does an atom acquire a change?
An atom acquires a charge by losing or gaining electrons.
Which part of the atom 'moves' electricity?
the electrons are the charge carries in an atom
What is an atom with a charge and can be formed by gaining or losing electrons?
well i think its an ion
What is an atom called that has a positive and negative charge as a result of gaining or losing electrons?
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
How an atoms becomes positively charged?
An atom gains a positive charge by losing electrons.
What part of the atom moves around the nucleus what type of charge do they have?
Electrons move around the nucleus and they have a negative charge.
What is the subatomic particles charges of calcium atom?
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.
Mobile part of an atom?
The electron, which moves around the core or nucleus and has a negative charge equal to the positive charge of the protons
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.
What happens to the properties of the atom when it forms an ionic bond with another atom?
Charge is decreased in one, and increased in another.
Is the following sentence true or false An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
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)
