Atoms that have lost or gained electron(s) are called ions. If they are positively charged (lost an electron(s)), they are called cations. If they are negatively charged (gained an electron(s), they are called anions.

What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?
Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.
Why do reactions have to he balanced?
atoms are not lost or gained in a chemical reaction
The idea that atoms are gained nor lost during a chemical reaction is called the law of?
Law of conservation of matter.
Are atoms have lost electrons is called?
Atoms that have lost electrons are positive ions, and are called cations.
Are monatomic ions covalently bonded atoms that have either gained or lost electrons?
No. Monatomic means there is only a single atom, this cannot be covalently bonded as this implies there are two or more atoms. Yes they have either gained or lost electrons.
Energy is gained or lost by atoms in an amount called what?
You think to quanta.

What is a oxidation bond?
the bond in which electrons are lost or oxygen atoms are gained or hydrogen atoms are lost.
The idea that atoms are gained nor lost during a chemical reaction is called the law of?
Law of conservation of matter.
What are atoms that have gained energy called?
excited state atoms
What is an ion that has lost or gained electrons called?
An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
Are atoms have lost electrons is called?
Atoms that have lost electrons are positive ions, and are called cations.
Are monatomic ions covalently bonded atoms that have either gained or lost electrons?
No. Monatomic means there is only a single atom, this cannot be covalently bonded as this implies there are two or more atoms. Yes they have either gained or lost electrons.
What type of bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost?
Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
What type of compound forms covalent bonds?
ions. (atoms that have lost or gained electrons)
What is formed if electrons are gained or lost?
An ionic bond between the ions (formed from the atoms).
