Sagot :

When an atom loses an electron, it forms a positive ion or cation

Further explanation

There are three possible conditions for atoms which are related to their charge

The electron configuration is owned by each element or atom. This configuration will try to achieve stability according to the electron configuration of the noble gas by releases electrons or binding electrons,

So if an atom/element releases an electron then this atom will be positively charged or the atom will form a positive ion and is also called a cation.

If it binds electrons, it is said to be negatively charged or form negative ions and is called an anion
