Pregunta 114

A neutral atom loses one electron while its nucleus stays unchanged. What type of ion forms, and what is its charge sign?

  1. A positive cationRespuesta correcta
  2. A negative anion
  3. A negative cation
  4. A neutral atom

Explicación

Losing a negatively charged electron leaves more protons than electrons, so the resulting particle is a positive cation. Calling it an anion reverses the effect of electron loss on net charge.
