Question

If a neutral atom loses 2 electrons, what will happen to the atom's electrical charge?

A. It will remain neutral
B. It will become positive
C. It will become negative
D. It will double

Answer 1

B, it will become positive

Answer 2

B.It will become positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a neutral atom loses 2 electron.

We have to find what happen when neutral atom loses 2 electrons.

Neutral atom: It is defined as the atom which have no charge or have zero charge.It means an atom fully filled configuration.

When an atom loses 2 electron

Suppose , an atom A

`A\implies A^(+2)+2e-`

When an atom lose electron then it becomes positive ion.

When an atom loses 2 electron then it becomes positive ion.

Answer:B.It will become positive.
