Question

The removal of an electron from an atom results in the formation

Answer 1

electrons are negatively charged particles . thus by removing a negative value it will form a ion with positive charge.

Answer 2

The removal of an electron from atom results in the formation of the cation.

• Electron is a negatively charged species of an atom.
• Thus when an electron is removed from an atom it reduces its negative charge and become more positively charged.
• Thus when an electron from atom results in the formation of a positively charged species commonly called a cation.
• Addition of electrons results in the anion.
