An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. Some atoms lose electrons and become positive ions. Others gain electrons and become negative ions.

<h2>Answer: </h2>

An atom becomes a positive ion by losing one or more of its electrons. Positively charged ions are called cations.

Positively charged ions are called cations. Generally, metallic elements turn into positive ions due to the quantity of valence electrons they contain. Metallic ions can achieve a full valence shell if they lose their outer electron(s). When they lose these electrons, the inner shell is now their valence shell, and it's complete. When this happens, they will have more protons than electrons, giving the atom a positive charge.

What flower has an ugly bud but a beautiful blossom?
kap26 [50]

Explanation:

Caladiums are tropical to sub-tropical plants grown mainly for their exquisite, colorful leaves. These foliage plants occasionally have a surprise up their metaphorical sleeve. Blooming on caladium plants isn’t common, but tubers planted in favorable locations tend to produce small flowers. These inflorescences aren’t as impactful as a rose or dahlia but have their own charm and, sometimes, a strong pleasant scent. There are several schools of thought on what to do with caladium flowers. While some growers believe pinching them off helps force energy to the tubers, others leave the small blooms with no ill effect on the plant.

The control center is the main nervous system of the brain that is used to carry out different sensory, the motor and integration of data.

The stimulus control is the behavioral control that is described as the situations where behavior is triggered by the presence or the absence of any stimulus. Stimulus is the functional reaction in a tissue or any organ.

In the context, the nerve cells in the stomach responds to the stimulus that results from the foods after eating food is a mechanism between the stimulus and the control center.
