Forms an ion. e.g if chlorine loses an electron it will go form Cl2
---> cl2+
When a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion. The loss of an electron reduces the electron-electron repulsion, causing the remaining electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. This contraction in electron cloud typically results in a smaller ionic size compared to the neutral atom.
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. The atom that gains the electron becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. This transfer of electrons creates ions that may attract or repel each other depending on their charges.
The amount of energy required to remove an electron form an at is the ionization energy.
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it forms a positively charged ion. This ion is called a cation because it has more protons than electrons. The loss of an electron results in an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the formation of the cation.
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
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.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
It loses an electron
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
it becomes a positive ion
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
It becomes a positive ion.
when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
