Solution

If an atom loses one electron and there are total 0 electrons then the atomic number of the atom should be equal to 1.
The element with atomic number 1 is hydrogen.
The hydrogen atom has a single electron and on losing it, the number of electrons will be zero.
Symbol of ion: H⁺¹
The number of protons does not change with the formation of ion. It will stay as one.
Name of element Symbol of ion Proton
Hydrogen H⁺ 1
