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 what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When sodium loses an electron what does it become?
It becomes a sodium ion with a charge of 1+.
What is the particle that an antom can loose or gain in order to form into a charged iron?
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 ;]
What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?
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
What type of charged ionwill potassium become when it gives up one electron?
If a potassium ion loses one electron, it will become a potassium cation with a charge of 1+. A neutral potassium atom has 19 positively charged protons and 19 negatively charged electrons, so the atom has no charge. When a potassium atom loses one electron, it now has 19 positively charged protons and 18 negatively charged electrons. So there is now one more positively charged proton than negatively charged electrons, so the sum of the charges (19+ + 18-) is 1+.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
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-).
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
When sodium loses an electron what does it become?
It becomes a sodium ion with a charge of 1+.
What happens when atoms loses an electron?
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.
