Electrons have negative charge. So when electrons is lost from an atom, the atom gets positive charge.

When an atom loses a valence electrons what does it become?

it becomes positive


If an atom that loses electrons is it positive or negative?

It will be positive.


How does an atom become positive?

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.


How do ions become positive?

Positive ions form when an atom or group of atoms loses one or more 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


Cations form when an atom gains electrons?

Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.


How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?

An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.


What happens when an atom loses one or more electrons and retains the same number of protons?

This atom become a positive ion (cation).


What charge of an atom that loses electrons?

A Positive Charge.


When are ions formed?

Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.


How is cation related to the atom?

Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent.


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.
