If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
When an atom loses electron what do molecules do?
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.
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in it's outer energry shell?
It becomes a sodium cation with a charge of 1+. Its formula is Na+.
What happens when an atom loses and electrons?
Well, an atom that loses an electron does not just "lose" it in space, the electron is taken away by another atom or molecule. So the electron sticks to the new molecule and forms an ion with a charge (given that the original atom was a neutral one). When this happens inside the body some really dangerous compounds can be formed, these are called "free radicals"
What is the name of an atom that looses one electron?
An atom that loses one electron is called a cation. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged due to the imbalance between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). For example, when a sodium atom (Na) loses one electron, it forms a sodium cation (Na⁺).
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What is the charge of a sodium ion if it loses 1 electron?
The charge of a sodium ion when it loses 1 electron is +1. Sodium is a group 1 element, so it has 1 electron in its outer shell. When it loses this electron, it becomes a positively charged ion with a charge of +1.
What happens to a material when it loses electron?
a it becomes positively b it becomes negatively charge
What happens if atom loses electron?
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.
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
What happens when cesium form its ion?
When cesium forms an ion, it loses one electron to become Cs+ with a full outer electron shell. This results in the formation of a cation with a positive charge due to the loss of one electron.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron what happens to the atoms charge?
it gets a postive charge hope this helps good luck
Does an element that loses 3 electrons have a charge of plus 2?
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
What happens to the atomic number of sodium when it loses one electron?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.
