Respuesta :
I believe the charge is positive as losing an electron suggests that the atom lost a negative charge, leaving it with more positive than negative.
I haven't taken this in a few years very sorry if i'm wrong tho.
Answer:
Its charge is positive
Explanation:
A neutral atom has the same amount of proton and electrons, so the charges are cancelled. When an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes positive and its exact charge is 1+. Thus, it is formatted a cation that may interact with an anion (an atom who receives an electron) to form an ionic bond.
Bare in mind that electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
