When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
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.
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
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, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
Chlorophyll p680 loses an electron from the primary electron acceptor, which is a nearby molecule in the photosystem II complex. The chlorophyll then receives an electron from the water molecules that are split during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
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.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.

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.
