The atom would stay the same size because it would still have the same amount of energy levels. The mass of the atom would be slightly less though.
No, an atom shrinks when loosing an electron.
There are less electrons ('-'charges) left that are attracted by the same number of protons ('+'charges) in nucleus, so the atraction per electron is stronger.
What else can I help you with?
A lithium atom that has lost an electron it comes near a Chlorine atom that has gained an electron what happens?
They form an ionic compound
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons.
When atom loses energy what happens to electron?
when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
What happens to an atom in terms of atomic mass and weight when it loses one particle?
If an atom looses an electron, neither the atomic mass nor atomic weight change appreciatively. If it looses a proton or neutron, both atomic mass and atomic weight decrease by one and it becomes an atom of a different element (on loss of a proton), or a different isotope of the same element (upon loss of a neutron).
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with a atom that has gained a electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What happens when an atom that looses an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
An ionic molecule is formed.
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
What do you think happens to the size of an atom when the atom lose an electron?
It shrinks loosing an electron.
How does an atom maintain a positive charge?
if it looses an electron
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
What happens to an atom that looses a valance electron?
It becomes positively charged because the positive protons now outnumber the negative electrons.
What happens to an atom when it looses an electron?
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
What forms when an atom has lost or gained electrons?
When an atom looses an electron is called "a cation, when gains is called an "anion".
How does an atom becone an ion?
An atom looses or gains electron to become ion. Ions are +ve and -ve atoms.
