Sodium metal loses electron to become sodium ion which is positively charged.
Na---Na+ + e-

liba12345: The atom has the same number of electrons as protons to keep the atom's charge nuetral, so if you take out an electron, it loses that negatively charged particle and that means there is one more positive than negative, so the atom becomes a positive ion.

Answered by pikachu90

in an atom the amount of positive charge is equal to the amount of negative charge and hence it is electrically neutral
but when it loses an electron the amount of positive charge exceeds the amount of negative charge and relative positive charge is aquired by the atom
for example :
sodium atom is electrically neutral but when it loses an electron it gains a unit positive charge and hence its ion is positive in nature
please mark my answer as brainliest
