Atoms of cesium can lose electrons to become cations. how many electrons does a single cesium atom lose? explain your answer.

All Right Cesium is an Alkali Metal so it Belongs to the first Column of the Periodic table. Every Element in that Column Has a Charge of 1 + as a cation. so at the answer your question, a single Cesium atom loses 1 electron when it became cation. This cation look like this: cs=55 electrons cs^ + = 54 Electrons As you Can see it only loses one
