Electron
A neutral atom becomes a positive atom by losing an electron.
A single proton was most likely removed from the helium atom to result in an atom of hydrogen. Helium typically has two protons, so removing one proton would leave one, transforming it into hydrogen, which has one proton.
When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
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 electron is a subatomic particle that can be rubbed off an atom. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom, and they can be transferred between atoms through processes like friction, leading to static electricity. When electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes positively charged, forming a cation.
A neutral atom becomes a positive atom by losing an electron.
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
A single proton was most likely removed from the helium atom to result in an atom of hydrogen. Helium typically has two protons, so removing one proton would leave one, transforming it into hydrogen, which has one proton.
The proton is the subatomic particle of the atom that carries a positive charge.
Protons have positive charge
proton
When an atom becomes ionized, it gains or loses electrons (usually one).
This particle is the proton.
When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
The Proton is positive
Protons
This partice is called atomic nucleus.
