The atom would stay the same size because it would still have the same amount of energy levels. The mass of the atom would be slightly less though.

No, an atom shrinks when loosing an electron.

There are less electrons ('-'charges) left that are attracted by the same number of protons ('+'charges) in nucleus, so the atraction per electron is stronger.

When atom loses energy what happens to electron?

when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
