Question

If my charge becomes 2+, what does that say about me?

  1. I am stealing 2 electrons
  2. I am losing 2 electrons
  3. I am in period 2
  4. I have an atomic number of 2

hintHint:

Positive charge means electron deficient.

The correct answer is: I am losing 2 electrons


    • When an atom loses an electron it becomes a cation and its charge is +1.
    • When an atom gains an electron it becomes an anion and its charge is -1.
    • If an atom has a charge of +2, it has lost 2 electrons.
    • It is electron deficient.
