Well if a atom loses or gains an electron it becomes an ion - a positively of negatively charged atom.
Yes, when a molecule gives up an electron, it becomes ionized because it now has a net positive charge. Additionally, the molecule is oxidized because it loses an electron, which is a defining characteristic of oxidation in chemical reactions.
Oxidized.Oxidation involves a loss of electrons.The answer above in a general context is wrong I'm afraid - If an atom loses an electron it becomes an ion and the same if it gains one - and electrically charged particle.
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
oxidation-reduction reaction
When ATP gives up one phosphate group, it is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releases energy that can be used for cellular processes. This process is known as hydrolysis, where the bond between the last phosphate group and the rest of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy.
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
Assimilation is when one culture gives up its ways and becomes part of another culture. This normally refers to a minority group that is dominated by a majority society. Assimilation may be fast or gradual, depending on the group.

An oxygen atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes an ion because it wants a full valence shell (as in, its outer energy level is trying to reach 8 electrons).
Everyone votes for Rosie, but Rosie gives up her crown for Carter to have it.

Nope. He gives up the immortality that the hagoromo grants him and becomes a normal human instead.
