Question

9/53
if an atom loses two electrons what charge will it have?
+2
+1
-1
-2

Explanation:

An atom is neutral (charge = 0) initially. Electrons have a negative charge (\(-1\) per electron). Losing electrons means losing negative charge. If an atom loses two electrons (\(- 2\) charge is removed), the net charge becomes \(0-(-2)=+2\).

Answer:

+2
