When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
The stability of the positive ion depends on the atom which removes the electron. As an example, when a sodium atom becomes positive, it is highly stable, on the contrary, when a chlorine atom becomes positive, it is highly unstable.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
This atom become a positive ion (cation).
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
When the neutral atom of sodium lose an electron become the cation Na+.
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
The stability of the positive ion depends on the atom which removes the electron. As an example, when a sodium atom becomes positive, it is highly stable, on the contrary, when a chlorine atom becomes positive, it is highly unstable.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
It must loose an electron.
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
