Question

PLEASE ANSWER FAST The charge on an atom that has lost two electrons is 2+.
True
False

Answer 1

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons have 1 negative charge so when a neutral atom loses 2 electrons it will have a charge of 2+.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When an atom has lost an electron, the overall charge is going to be positive

( + ) because there is more protons than electrons rather than a normal atom where the protons equal the number of electrons which means the overall charge is 0 since the protons cancel out the electrons but in this atom the protons is greater than the electrons so the charge is positive
