Why does it make sense that is an atom loses electrons it is left with a positive charge?

Why does it make sense that if atom loses electrons at will have an overall positive charge?
Atoms, by definition, have a neutral charge because they must contain equal numbers of protons (+) and electrons (-). Each proton has a +1 charge and each electron has a -1 charge. When an atom loses an electron, it then becomes an ion and has 1 less electron than protons. This means that you have 1 more proton than electrons, and, therefore, more positive charge than negative charge. The ion will then have an overall +1 charge.
Is all atomic nuclei positive?
Yes, though the overall charge of the entire atom is neutral due to the electrons orbiting it. If the atom becomes an ion by the removal or addition of electrons, its overall charge changes. But yes, the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral.
What has negative charge and positive charge with more exampal?
I'm not completely sure what your getting at with this question but here's my answer: In a sense, a neutron is both positively and negatively charged because when a neutron undergoes beta decay it releases both a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron through an interaction involving a change in quarks via a weak force interaction.
Which atom is more negatively charged C or H?
C (Carbon) has a charge of 4+, while H (Hydrogen) has a charge of 1+. Both elements have a positive charge, but hydrogen is technically more negative.
Does an ionic compound contain a cation and an anion?
Ionic compounds are basically defined as being compounds where two or more ions are held next to each other by electrical attraction. One of the ions has a positive charge and the other has a negative charge.

Is hydrogen positive or negative?
A hydrogen atom is neutral as it has the same number of protons and electrons. But as an ion, it can be either positive or negative.We usually talk about it in the positive sense; eg. It would donate it's outer electron and gain a positive charge; H+. However, in some compounds it can have a negative charge, H-.In a standard question though, always assume that it loses it's outer electron and is positively charged unless told otherwise in the question.
What surrounds a moving electrical charge?
it depends on what kind of charge it is if its a positive charge then protons are surrounding it if it is a negative charge then electrons are surrounding it does that make sense?
What ion is form when an atom gains electrons?
Typically, a negative ion is formed by gaining electrons. This is because electrons hvae a negative charge. An example of a case where a positive ion can be formed by gaining an electron is when an ion with a charge of +2 can gain 1 electron and become +1. Technically in this case, a positive ion was formed when an electron was gained but the trend was that the ion became more negative not positive.
What is the difference between positive ions and negative ions?
By nature, every atom is electrically neutral. Each atom wants to have a full shell of electrons, but some atoms have a very incomplete shell, so they strive to get more electrons. When an atom of this nature bonds with another - among other possibilities - it may gain, or "steal" electrons from another atom to make up the lack of electrons in their own shell. A positive ion is simply an atom that as lost electrons through this process, therefore there is a positive charge because there are more protons. A negative ion has gained electrons, having a negative charge because there are more electrons.
Why does Ca form Ca plus 2 ion?
It loses two electrons. Electrons carry one negative charge each. Therefore if you lose two electrons, you lose two negative charges and therefore will become more positively charged. Hope that makes sense?!
What is a positive DC voltage?
A positive DC voltage is an electric potential where excess electrons will flow from negative to positive.AnswerYou appear to be mixing up potential difference (i.e. voltage) with potential. There is no such thing as a 'positive' voltage if you mean 'positive' in the sense of charge! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', and you cannot have a positive or negative potential difference in this sense. You can only apply positive and negative in this sense to potentials.However, if you mean 'positive' in the sense of direction, then a positive voltage is one that is acting in the opposite direction to a negative voltage within the same circuit. For example, where two batteries have been connected in opposition.
Is all atomic nuclei positive?
Yes, though the overall charge of the entire atom is neutral due to the electrons orbiting it. If the atom becomes an ion by the removal or addition of electrons, its overall charge changes. But yes, the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral.
Do electrons come out of the negative or positive terminal?
Electrons are negatively-charged particles that flow out from the negative terminal and into the positive terminal of a battery. It was once assumed that moving particles had a positivecharge, and so this conventional current flow set the original arrow direction, still shown on diodes and junction transistors.
