What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?
When atoms lose or gain an electron, they become ions. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged it is referred to as?
When atoms either lose or gain electrons they are referred to as ions.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as an?
Positive ion. Examples: H+ Na+ Li+ Be+ N+ Lost multiple electrons? H2+ Na2+ Li3+ H5+
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion

What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
How does an ion become Negatively charge?
it loses a proton or gains an electron
What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?
When atoms lose or gain an electron, they become ions. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
When an atom loses an electron and is negatively charged what is it called?
It is called an ion, or more specifically a cation.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
What type of charged ionwill potassium become when it gives up one electron?
If a potassium ion loses one electron, it will become a potassium cation with a charge of 1+. A neutral potassium atom has 19 positively charged protons and 19 negatively charged electrons, so the atom has no charge. When a potassium atom loses one electron, it now has 19 positively charged protons and 18 negatively charged electrons. So there is now one more positively charged proton than negatively charged electrons, so the sum of the charges (19+ + 18-) is 1+.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as an?
Positive ion. Examples: H+ Na+ Li+ Be+ N+ Lost multiple electrons? H2+ Na2+ Li3+ H5+
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged it is referred to as?
When atoms either lose or gain electrons they are referred to as ions.
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
