Question

how does an elements charge change when it loses electrons?
becomes negative
remains neutral
becomes positive
becomes zero

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an atom, electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. A neutral atom has an equal number of electrons and protons. When an element loses electrons, the number of positive protons exceeds the number of negative electrons. So the overall charge becomes positive (since there are more positive charges).

Answer:

Green. Becomes positive
