electrons others would lose electrons but if the atoms had the outer shell
filled
losing an electron would not change the volume but a gain in just one
electron
would require a whole new shell, Of course if the atoms had only one electron
in it's outer shell the reverse would happen and the volume would decrease.
This may be how some of these sealed motors work.
