In order for an atom to become an ion, removing or adding an electron should be done. The mass number remains the same because this indicates the number of protons and neutrons and not of electrons.

How Oxygen ionizes by losing electrons?

Oxygen can ionize by losing electrons to form a positively charged ion. This can occur when an oxygen atom gains enough energy to overcome the attraction of its electrons, causing one or more electrons to be ejected from the atom. The resulting oxygen ion will have a positive charge due to the loss of negatively charged electrons.

A base that only partly ionizes in a solution is what kind of base?

A base that only partly ionizes in a solution is considered a weak base. This means that only a small fraction of the base molecules will ionize to release hydroxide ions in the solution. Examples of weak bases include ammonia (NH3) and methylamine (CH3NH2).
