when an atom loses an electron it becomes positive because it just lot a negetive part to its structure. The name given to these positively charged particles is Cation
The central part of an atom is called the nucleus. It contains protons and neutrons, surrounded by orbiting electrons.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
Yes, phosphide is the name of the anion formed when phosphorus gains three electrons. It has a -3 charge and is represented as P3-.
All the components of an atom (neutron, proton, electron) are called subatomic particles or elementary particles.
Oxidation number
lithium
an ion
electrons.
The ion would have two fewer negative charges so the ion would be more positive by +2
an ionic bond

"Electron cloud" is the name given to the electrons which surrounds the atomic nucleus.
These electrons are called "valence" electrons. They are the ones that take place in bond formation.
