Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

It is known that electrons hold a negative charge. So, when the negative charge that is electrons are taken out an atom then the number of electrons become less in number as compared to the number of protons.

Hence, the atom attains a positive charge.

An isotope is formed when an atom shows same number of protons and different number of neutrons. So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form.

Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

Jet001 [13]
A force of attraction that holds atom together
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements.
