a neutral atom :)
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
In a reaction with chlorine, a lithium atom will lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Once it loses an electron, it becomes a lithium cation, which has a charge of +1.
No, if a hydrogen atom loses its electron, it becomes a positively charged hydrogen ion (H+). This is because the electron carries a negative charge, and when it is removed from the atom, the remaining proton in the nucleus gives the atom a net positive charge.
It becomes a cation.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
Ion
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
It will become a soft ion.
It loses an electron
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When a metal atom loses an electron, it loses energy. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the electron's initial position and its final position outside the atom.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
