An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
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.
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes smaller in size because there are fewer negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud to balance the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus. This results in a stronger attraction between the remaining electrons and the nucleus, causing the electron cloud to contract and the overall radius of the atom to decrease.
Remember the talk about the "outer electrons" you learned about? Sodium (Na) has 1 electron in the outer most electron orbital. Calcium (Ca) has, you guessed it, 2 electrons in its' outer most electron orbital. Can you explain the rest to yourself? Remember they had a neutral charge before becoming ionic.

it gets a postive charge hope this helps good luck
it gets positive charge
One electron
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
Electrons have negative charge. So when electrons is lost from an atom, the atom gets positive charge.

When an atom gains a positive charge, it loses an electron(s), resulting in more protons than electrons. When an atom gains a negative charge, it gains an electron(s), resulting in more electrons than protons.
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.
if it can lose an electron it will have a positive charge. to begin with in a neutral state it has no charge it has an equal amount of protons (positively charged) in the nucleus as it has electrons (negatively charged particles) around the nucleus. Hence in loosing an electron the balance shifts to a positive over all charge. not all elements can become ions like this.
No, stretching an object will not cause it to become electrically charged. Charging an object requires the transfer of electrons. Stretching changes the shape or size of an object but does not result in the accumulation of electric charge.
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
