When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation. The loss of electrons results in an imbalance between the number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged), leading to a net positive charge. The specific charge of the cation will be +2 due to the loss of two electrons.

What is formed when a single atom of Krypton?
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons it becomes a?
When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, specifically a cation. The loss of negatively charged electrons results in an overall positive charge because the number of protons (which are positively charged) remains unchanged. For example, if a neutral atom of sodium (Na) loses two electrons, it becomes Na²⁺.
What determines if an atom is an ion?
An atom is electrically neutral; it has the same number of positively charged protons as it has negatively charged electrons. If an atom either gains or loses one or more electrons, then it will have an electric charge, and will be an ion.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
What gives matter a charge?
Matter becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons. When an atom is neutral (no charge) it has an equal number of protons and electrons. But when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. When it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. Hope I helped! :)

When an atom loses electrons its charge become negative true or false?
False. When an atom loses electrons, its charge becomes positive since electrons have negative charges. Compare it to: 0 - -1 = 1
If an atom loses electrons it is left with a positive charge?
Yes. When an atom loses at least one of its electrons, it becomes a positively-charged ion.
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.

What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
1) depends up on the the element basically: metals (electropositive elements) can donate nonmetals can(electro negative )elements can accpect the electrons 2)the result: if an atom losses the electron it becomes positively charged normally metals donate the electons and become + charged.
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
