hi friend
here's your answer looking for

as we know that the atom is electrically neutral as whole.
and in an atom the proton is A positively charged sub atomic particle and electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.

and protons and neutrons are bind together with the nuclear force in its nucleus.

so as you are asking ,what will happen if the atom loses its all electrons?

so if all the negatively charged particles are get knocked out from the atom then, the positively charged particle get remained in that atom.
so as a result the atom get positively charged or make cation that is positively charged ion.

Final answer :- if the atom loses all its electron then it get change into positively charged ion.

example :- if you take the example of Alpha particles, then we will notice that it is the positively charged Helium atom without a single electron.
so that is nothing but a positively charged Helium ion that has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
