Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
A metal atom tends to lose electrons to form a positively charged ion, known as a cation. The number of electrons lost is equal to the atom's valence electrons, which results in a full outer shell and increased stability.
Yes. they are.
the electrons
All electrons are the same. A negatively charged atom would be an anion.
Atoms NEVER lose protons, just electrons.

The number of electrons depends on what type of atom it is.
H3N is a coordinate covalent bond, also known as a dative bond. This type of bond involves both electrons coming from the same atom, in this case, nitrogen, and it forms when the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is shared with a hydrogen atom.
Ionic bond.
A metal atom tends to lose electrons to form a positively charged ion, known as a cation. The number of electrons lost is equal to the atom's valence electrons, which results in a full outer shell and increased stability.
Ionic bond. This type of bond forms when one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
A polar covalent bond forms when the shared electrons are pulled closer to the more electronegative atom, resulting in a partial negative charge on that atom and a partial positive charge on the other atom. This unequal sharing of electrons creates a dipole moment in the molecule.
This type of covalent bond is known as a dative or coordinate covalent bond. It forms when one atom shares both electrons in the bond with another atom, which acts as the electron acceptor.
When one atom shares an electron with another atom to fill the outermost shell, it forms a covalent bond. This type of bond occurs when both atoms share the pair of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.
Bi3 typically forms an ionic bond, where the bismuth atom loses three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and forms a bond with three other atoms by sharing electrons.
