Yes. A particle that loses an electron becomes an ion with a positive charge. A particle that gains an electron becomes an ion with a negative charge.

Gaining electrons results in what?
Becoming a negatively charged anion.
A positive charged body has is it deficit of electrons or excess of electrons?
A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged).
What is the bond which results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
An ionic bond results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, or cation. The atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion. The ionic bond that forms between them is the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
Compton scattering is defined as what?
Compton scattering is an inelastic scattering of a photon by a free charged particle, usually an electron. It results in a decrease in energy of the photon.
What is the term for a single atom bearing a negative or a positive chargeas a result of gaining or losing valence electrons?
A charged atom that results from the gain or loss of an electron is called an ion.
Gaining electrons results in what?
Becoming a negatively charged anion.
What type of particle results formula of a covalent bond?
A covalent bond involve sharing of electrons.
A positive charged body has is it deficit of electrons or excess of electrons?
A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged).
What is the bond which results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?

The atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion. The ionic bond that forms between them is the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
If you scuff electrons from your hair onto a comb are you positvely or negatively charged and how about the comb?
Your creation of friction with the floor will allow you to "collect" electrons. You'll become negatively charged, and this static charge can discharge to a door knob. Most of us are familiar with the phenomenon. The results can be shocking.

What does a positively charged body have?
A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged). It also probably means it has a healthy diet and a daily health routine

A charged atom that results from the gain or loss of an electron is called an ion.
Which term describes the particle that results when an electron is added to an atom?
It depends. If you are talking about electron capture at the molecular level, then when a neutral atom (or molecule) absorbs a negatively charged electron, it becomes negatively charged. All charged atoms (or molecules) are called ions, and a negatively charged ion is called an anion. . If, on the other hand, you are talking about electron capture by the nucleus of an atom, then when a positively charged proton absorbs a negatively charged electron, the proton converts into a neutrally charged neutron and immediately emits a neutrally charged electron neutrino.
Difference between a cation and an anion?
An ion is an atom containing less or more electrons than protons. Electrons are negatively charged so an extra electron would make the atom negatively charged, where as an atom missing an electron would be positively charged. An ion can be a cation or an anion. A cation is the specific form of ion that is missing 1 or more electrons and results in a positively charged atom. An anion is the specific form of ion that contains 1 or more extra electrons and results in a negatively charged atom.
What subatomic particle makes an element unique?
The number of protons is unique for every element.Varying the number of neutrons will give you an isotope of the same element.Varying the number of electrons will give you an ion of the same element.
What particle results from covalent bonding?
molecules
