How does an atom become a positively charged ion

Chemistry

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

What element is reduced in the following reaction?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
 the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species 
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species 
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au. 
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au
