Question

Electrons, protons, and neutrons are three subatomic particles of an atom. If the atom undergoes a change and becomes a positive ion, which subatomic particle is lost in this process?

Answer 1

electron

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The atom would have lost an electron to get a positive charge. The electrons and protons of a neutral atom are equal. Therefore, when one electron is lost, there is one more proton than there is electrons, and the atom will have a positive charge.
