An electron has several shells with electron. When these shells are completely filled, the most outer shell doesnt relatively feel much attraction of the electrons towards the nucleus. Therefore it is possible that one electron gets out of the shells.
If this is done, the atom has too little amount of electrons, it needs one more. The attraction force is then increased, which means it takes a lot of more energy to remove the second electron, let alone the third

What will happen if all the electrons of an atom are removed?
Most probably, when all electrons a removed from an atom, that atom will not have or carry out the Newton's third law of motion. This means that the atom will let any object that has a pushing force, go through that atom Added: In the special case of Hydrogen when only one (= 'ALL' ) electron is removed a stable ion is formed: H+ , which is also the same as a (single) proton
What is energy released on adding an electron to an isolated gas phase atom?
All electron shells represent an energy level - it doesn't matter if its the outermost shell or not. In order for there to be a release of energy the electron has to be coming from a higher energy state. The only energy state higher than the outer-most electron shell would be a free electron. The only way an electron becomes a free electron is that sufficient was provided to lift it from what-ever electron shell (energy level) it was previously in to escape velocity. The energy that it then releases in returning is then this exact same amount of energy.
What atom is the only atom that has neutrons?
Actually, all atoms have neutrons except for one, and that is the normal hydrogen atom, which is only comprised of a single proton and electron.
How many atoms are in an atom of beryllium?
Only two electron shells.
How many electron shells an electron can have?
the no. of electron shells in an atom varies for every element in the periodic table, depending on its no. of electrons in the atom. the no. of shells of an atom of an element ca be derived through the period of the periodic table. elements in the 1st period has only 1 shell and so forth.

What is the only subatomic particle that can jump from atom to atom?
An electron can jump from atom to atom.
When a potassium atom reacts with a bromine atom the potassium atom will?
lose only one electron

Because a hydrogen atom does not contain a neutron hydrogen ions can be thought of as what?
a Proton. A hydrogen-1 atom (the most abundant isotope of hydrogen) has no neutrons and only 1 proton. So the atom is 1 proton and 1 electron. So the ion, when the electron is removed, the entire ion is just 1 single proton.
Is an atom made up of only one atom?
atom is made up of subatomic particles:proton,electron and neutron.
How many atoms are in the last shell of the hydrogen atom?
The hydrogen atom (1H) has only 1 proton and 1 electron (you probably think at this electron).
When a potassium atom reacts with bromine the potassium atom will?
ll lose only 1 electron
When an atom loses one or more electrons what does the atom become?
Loosing electrons means little when compared to the original atom... The only difference with the atom at its new state is that it is now considered a cation. Cations are (put simply) atoms that have lost a single electron (valence or not), and now consist a positive charge rather than neutral.
Why are electron in the electron cloud?
electron cloud refers to orbit present in the atom and electron can can be revolved by the orbit only as it is an imaginary path made of energy
Why does fluorine atom atom tend to gain only one electron?
It has 7 electrons in its valance shell so it needs only 1 electron to form a octet; the Nobel gas configuration.
What atom is the only atom that has neutrons?
Actually, all atoms have neutrons except for one, and that is the normal hydrogen atom, which is only comprised of a single proton and electron.
