When an atom loses two electrons it becomes a cation What is the charge?





◆Choose the answer.


A) two negative charges


B) two positive charges

C) Neutral

D)Nothing




Answer:


When an atom loses two electrons it becomes a cation and the charge of this cation will be +2.


Explanation:

When an atom loses an electron,it becomes positive ion which is called cation.



You know that the charge of proton is positive (+1) and the charge of electron is negative (+1).



Besides,we know that an atom is neutral because the number of proton and electron is in same number.


Now if one electron goes from the neutral atom,one proton of that atom will not be satisfied.Thus the neutral atom become positively charged.


H(1)=one proton and one electron=Neutral atom



H+(1)=one proton and zero electron=Positively charged hydrogen atom=Cation


He(2)=two protons+two electrons=Neutral atom



He2+=two protons+Zero electron=Cation
