Quick Answer. An atom with no charge becomes positively charged when it loses an electron. When this happens, it is called a positive ion. If the atom gains an electron, the atom becomes a negative ion. In either case, the number of protons in the atomâs nucleus does not change. More than one electron can be removed from an atom to give it a positive charge of +2, +3 or more.
