It becomes an ion. Ions are atoms that have either lost or gained an electron. Since this on lost an electron, it got a positive 1 charge.

It form a CATION.
Sodium is the classica example. It ionises one electron
Na(g) = Na^+(g) + e^-
NB When an atom loses/gains electrons, it comes an ION ; NOT an atom.
Positive ions are CATIONS. Negative ions are ANIONS. The y are no longer atoms.

∙ 7y agoWhen a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.(apex) An ION is a charged atom.
And in any random atom, when the nucleus emits an electron, the mass number remains the same but the atomic number goes up by 1.

∙ 11y agoWhen 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 what does it become?
a neutral atom :)
When chlorophyll p680 loses an electron from what atom does the chlorophyll receives an electron?
oxygen atom
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
When one atom loses an electron and another accepts that electron?
It depends on the exact situation. Probably ions Well this answer is vaguely correct. When an atom gains or loses an electron it becomes an ion. Ions with a net positive charge are called cations and ions with a net negative charge are anions. This allows for an ionic bond to occur. An ionic bond occurs when an anion binds with a cation.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
a neutral atom :)
10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?
To produce a negative ion (anion): an electron is gained. To produce a positive ion (cation): an electron is loss.
When chlorophyll p680 loses an electron from what atom does the chlorophyll receives an electron?
oxygen atom
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an atom loses an electron and become negatively charged we refer to it as an?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
What happens if atom loses electron?
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.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
