When a strontium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a(n) cation with a charge of 2+.
when any neutral atom loses an electron it becomes cation that is positively charged ions and an ion gets the charge according to the number of electrons loses. And if an atom gains an electron it becomes anion that is negatively charged ions.
