A subatomic particle is removed from an atom to form an ion. A student wants to draw a
diagram of this process. From which part of the atom should the student show the subatomic
particle being removed?
A. from the nucleus of the atom
B. from the inner part of the atom
C. from the innermost energy level of the atom
D. from the outermost energy level of the atom

The part of the atom from which a subatomic particle is being removed, to become an ion, and that the student should show is from the outermost energy level of the atom (option D).

Explanation:

Ions are atoms with an electric charge, caused by the gain or loss of electrons. The most external atomic orbital, or energy level, is the one that has the property to acquire or lose electrons so that an atom becomes an ion.

Whereas an electron has a negative charge, two things can happen:

When a given atom gains electrons in its outermost energy level, it acquires a negative charge, and is called an anion.
Cations are atoms that lose electrons from the external orbital.

In this case, the student must make a scheme that shows the subatomic particle -electron- the atom is losing comes from its outermost orbital.
