A hydrogen atom (protium, the most common kind) is the most basic element with only one proton and one electron. When it loses this electron (a negative charge) to form an ion all that is left is in the atom is a lone proton (with a positive charge).

[Protium has one electron (-1 charge) and one proton (+1 charge) for an overall charge of 0]

A Sodium Atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons. When it loses an electron to become a positive ion it still has 11 protons and 10 electrons.

Hope this helps!
