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.

Which feature of earth is created at mid ocean ridges
777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is - underwater mountain ranges.

The mid-ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges, which usually are very long, in fact the longest mountain range on Earth is created on the divergent boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates and between the African and South American tectonic plates. At the divergent tectonic boundaries we have the creation of new crust which rises from the mantle and fills in the gap between the tectonic plates. Because of the big amount of magma and high pressure, very big and long underwater mountain ranges are formed.
