an ion is an atom with a posotive or negative charge. this means the atom gains or loses an electron
An ion.

A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
An atoms becomes a negative ion when it accepts electrons.
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
No, atoms are neutral. Atoms can be charged by adding or deleting an electron(s). A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
The atom becomes an Cation (positively charged ion)
After losing or gaining electrons, atoms will form ions. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, while if it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion. This process results in the formation of stable electronic configurations.
This is true. That is why a atom is neutral. An atom becomes an Ion when the charges are + or -
Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons are called ions. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
