Answer: Lost 3 electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

Ions are postively or negatively charged atom. The postively charged are called cations while the negativity charged are called anions.

Atom becomes positively charged by losing electrons while negatively charged by gaining electrons.

So, the +3 ion means it has lost 3 electrons
