Question

Which statement is correct? When a positively charged atom looses an electron to a positively charged atom, two neutral atoms are created. When a neutral atom looses an electron to another neutral atom, two charged atoms are created. When a neutral atom looses an electron to a positively charged atom, both atoms become neutral. When charged atoms lose electrons they will become positively charged atoms.

Answer 1

Answer:

When a neutral atom looses an electron to another neutral atom, two charged atoms are created.

Explanation:

Initially, we have two neutral atoms: they both have electrical charge equal to zero.

If one of the two neutral atom looses an electron, it becomes positively charge (charge: +1), because the electron carries a charge of -1. As a result, the other atom which accepts the electron becomes negatively charged (charge: -1). Therefore, in the end we will have two charged atoms.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is "When a neutral atom looses an electron to another neutral atom, two charged atoms are created."
