The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
An atom with single electron in its outermost shell
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
An atom that tends to lose one electron typically has fewer electrons than protons in its nucleus. These atoms are usually found in Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table, such as elements like sodium or magnesium. When they lose one electron, they form positively charged ions called cations.
The simplest atom that contains one proton, one electron, and no neutrons is the hydrogen atom.
Sodium become a cation (positive charge) - Na+.
An atom with single electron in its outermost shell
The Alkali Metals loose one electron in order to achieve a nobel gas configuration.

True. Sodium typically has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but it tends to lose one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration in its outer shell. This loss of an electron forms a positively charged sodium ion.
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
electron
An atom with one extra electron is called an anion, while an atom with one missing electron is called a cation.
The simplest atom that has one electron and one proton is the Hydrogen atom.
An atom of potassium is most likely to become a cation. Potassium tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a positively charged ion.
An ionic bond.
A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.
