What else can I help you with?
Which type of atom becomes positive and why?
an atom becomes positive when that atom gives their electron to other atom....when the atom reacts it is called ion not atom... so that means that ion has charge of ion+..... atom has to give or take( in this case give) electron to make their outer most shell full
To form a positive ion an atom will give up an electron to gain stability?
It depends on which kind of atom it is. For example, it is rather difficult to let a Cl with a negative charge to give up an electron to gain so-called stability which it has already had. But for a hydrogen negative ion, it is much more easier because a Hydrogen atom doesn't have such a strong power to hold an electron. Basically, the bigger the atom is, the stronger power it will have to hold extra electrons. And all the elements are listed in descending orders from the left to the right, the upside to the downside in Periodic Table of Elements.
Is the electron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?

What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
A proton neutron and electron are in the nucleus of an atom?
yes they are what makes up the atom
Will Sodium give up electrons to other atoms?
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.

Is an atom made up of only one atom?
atom is made up of subatomic particles:proton,electron and neutron.
What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
You can see an atom with?
No device can give the complete structure of an atom but you can get a minute idea about the look of an atom using an Electron Microscope!
A proton neutron and electron are in the nucleus of an atom?
yes they are what makes up the atom
What is gained or lost in an atom to give it an electrical charge?
Electron(s).
When an atom gives up an electron what is formed?
ions
If an atom has one valence electron what will it form?
Since the element has only one valence electron, it will be very easy for it to lose it and form an ionic bond.
Of the three particles that make up an atom which is the lightest?
The electron is the lightest of the three particles that make up an atom, with a mass of approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms.
