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.
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
Well, an atom that loses an electron does not just "lose" it in space, the electron is taken away by another atom or molecule. So the electron sticks to the new molecule and forms an ion with a charge (given that the original atom was a neutral one). When this happens inside the body some really dangerous compounds can be formed, these are called "free radicals"
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 a metal atom loses an electron, it loses energy. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the electron's initial position and its final position outside the atom.
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
It loses an electron
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion.
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
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
It shrinks loosing an electron.
