Question

When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of

two charged atoms.
two negatively charged atoms.
two positively charged atoms.
two neutrally charged atoms.

Answer 1

Two charged atoms. This is because the atom that loses the electron will become a positively charged ion (a cation) and the one that gains that electron will become a negatively charged ion ( an anion).

Answer 2

The creation of two cahrged atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

If an atom loses one electron this means it loses a negative charge, therefore it remains positively charged.

The atom that gained that electron, gained a negative charge so it remains negatively charged.

Cause of that, two charged species where created but with opposite charges.
