It loses it's balance, and spirals out of control until it collapses.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When helium loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged helium ion (He+).
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
A cation.
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
