Answer: A positively charged ion/ cation

Explanation: When an atom loses all of its electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion. Also referred to as the cation, the object will have a shortage of electrons, leading to a positive charge. Keep in mind that an atom will become positive if it loses electrons, and will become negative if it gains electrons.
