Question

When an atom loses electrons, it is called a (an) _____ and has a ______ charge.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

When an atom loses electrons, it is called a (an) ion and has a positive charge.

Explanation:

• Whenever an atom acquires or loses an electron, that atom gets charged and is referred to as an ion. Gaining one electron leads to a negative charge, thus the atom is an anion.

• Because of losing an electron performance in a positive charge, every atom ion is a cation. An atom is indeed an electrically neutral entity composed of an equivalent amount of protons and electrons.

• Because if it drops one electron, it has one proton more than the electrons. As a result, if an atom loses one electron, it gains a net positive charge.
