Which particle in an atom is lost or gained to make an ion

An electron because that is the only part able to be lost or gained without nuclear action needed

Solution for k/5.2+81.9=47.2 equation:
k in (-oo:+oo)

k/5.2+81.9 = 47.2 // - 47.2

k/5.2-47.2+81.9 = 0

0.19230769*k-47.2+81.9 = 0 // - 81.9-47.2

0.19230769*k = -(81.9-47.2) // : 0.19230769

k = (-(81.9-47.2))/0.19230769

k = 5.20000006*(47.2-81.9)

k = 5.20000006*(47.2-81.9)

Always Practice, It makes Perfect! Anyways, I hope I helped... It would be nice if you can answer mine too, But you dont have to! ;)
