No, it becomes (positively) electrically charged and in this state is called a "ion" (of the original element)
It is also possible for an element to gain an electron and become (negatively) charged. This too is an "ion".
What element the atom is, is determined by the number of protons in the atoms nucleus and these do not change unless the element is radioactive.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
It becomes a sodium ion with a charge of 1+.
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation
It becomes a positively charged Magnesium ion.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
It becomes a sodium ion with a charge of 1+.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
ion that is positively charged
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
When helium loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged helium ion (He+).
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
