Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
When a metal atom loses an electron, it loses energy. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the electron's initial position and its final position outside the atom.
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
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.
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion

When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
