What is the name of an atom that has a postive or negative charge?
An ion.
What is a positely or negatively charged particle?
ion
What is the difference between a positive and negative ion?
There is a different between a postive and negative ion. Ion's depend on protons and electrons. If there is 4 protons and 5 electrons , it would make it a negative ion because the extra electron would have no other neutron to pair up with to make it a balance atom. If there is 4 protons and 3 electrons , it would make it a postive ion because the extra proton doesn't have any other electron to pair up to , to cancel it out. When there is an even amount of electrons and protons then the atom would be a balance atom. So therefore it would have no charge. So therefore telling the difference form a postive and negative ion depends on the extra proton or neutron.
An atom can become an ion by losing?
An atom can become an ion by losing electrons. It can accomplish the same thing by gaining electrons.
Is helium an isotope atom or ion?
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?
it becomes an ion
What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
How does an atom becone an ion?
An atom looses or gains electron to become ion. Ions are +ve and -ve atoms.
When an atom loses a valence electron it becomes a what ion?
It will become a soft ion.
How does a hydrogen ion change into an atom?
A hydrogen ion can change into an atom by gaining an electron. When a hydrogen ion, which is essentially a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron, gains an electron back, it will become a neutral hydrogen atom.

When an atom gains electrons what does it become?
It becomes an ion.
