When ions lose an electron, they become positively charged ions known as cations. This process typically occurs during chemical reactions or interactions with other atoms and molecules. The loss of an electron reduces the overall negative charge of the atom, resulting in an imbalance between protons and electrons, which leads to the positive charge. This change in charge can significantly affect the ion's chemical properties and reactivity.

What is the ions in NaCl?
The ions in NaCl are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In a NaCl crystal lattice, sodium atoms lose an electron to form positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negatively charged chloride ions.
What is an ion and what happens to electrons when ions are formed?
An ion is an atom with a net electric charge. An ion is formed when an atom either gains or loses a valence electron. Atoms with an unfilled outer shell tend to gain or lose electrons so they can achieve a filled outer shell. Atoms that gain an electron are negative ions, and atoms that lose an electron are positive ions.
What happens when Na turns into an ion?
Sodium atom lose an electron.
Do ion share electrons with other atoms?
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
How many electrons is the alkali metal losing when it becomes an ion?
Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
What happens to metallic atoms during ionic bonds?
They lose valence electron(s), becoming positively charged ions.
Do nonmetals lose electron when they form ions?
No. They gain electrons
How many electrons do group 1 elements lose to become ions?
Group 1 elements a.k.a. Alkali metals lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions
Would argon lose or gain an electron?
Neither. It does not form ions.
Which will lose an electron to form ions P Fe Pb Se?
se
What do you think happens to the size of an atom when the atom lose an electron?
It shrinks loosing an electron.
What group of elements on the periodic table lose one electron to combine?
The atoms of the group 1 elements, called the alkali metals, lose one electron and form positively charged ions in order form ionic compounds with negative ions of nonmetals, or negatively charged polyatomic ions.
WHAT happens when sodium atoms react with iodine atoms to produce sodium iodine?
When sodium atoms react with iodine atoms, they undergo a redox reaction to form sodium iodide. Sodium atoms lose an electron to form Na+ ions, while iodine atoms gain an electron to form I- ions. These ions then combine to form sodium iodide crystals.
What is the ions in NaCl?
The ions in NaCl are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In a NaCl crystal lattice, sodium atoms lose an electron to form positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negatively charged chloride ions.
When sodium atoms form sodium ions they?
lose one electron to become positively charged.
When elements in Group 1 lose one electron to form ions with a (an) charge.?
positive charge.
What group loses 1 electron to form ions?
Group 1 elements (alkali metals such as sodium, potassium) lose 1 electron to form ions with a +1 charge.
