Ions that are deficient in electrons are
ionic compounds r made from different ions by ionic bonds or dative bonds ie. donating or taking electrons from electron rich or electron deficient compounds to complete their valence shells electron
An element tries to get the stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. If a metal has 1 or 2 or 3 valent electrons, they donate these valent electrons to the non-metals which are deficient of 1 or 2 or 3 electrons. So the extra electron in metals get transferred to the outermost shell of the non metal.
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
Hydronium Ions
When a molecule dissociates in to ions , some ions take up more electrons they required , they are said to be in Oxidation state. If another ion which have deficient electrons came near this ion , the electrons from first ion transferred to another ion. Now the oxidation number -2 means it has two excess electrons and want to loose two electrons to get stability.

Ions with 18 electrons are exceptions (ex.: Cl-).
It is called an Ion either a cation where electrons are lost or anion where electrons are gained

A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
Ions have more or less electrons than a neutral atom.
Actually all the ions will have. Al3+, O2- and N3- ions will have the same number of electrons as neon (10 electrons), whereas Br- ion will have the same number of electrons as krypton (36 electrons)
Atoms that are neutral in charge have the same quantity of protons and electrons. Negative ions have extra electrons, and positive ions are missing electrons.
Nonmetals tend to attract electrons to become negative ions.
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
