An atom loses electrons to form
Both charge and mass have been conserved. We had to put energy into the equation because the separation of unlike electric charges undoubtedly consumes energy.
Chemists measure this so-called ionization energy in the gas phase, and thus probe electronic, and atomic structure. The ionization energy is known to increase across a
