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.
Atoms that have lost one or more electrons form an ionic bond with an atom that has gained one of more electrons.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
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.
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations

It depends on the types of atoms that are reacting.
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is known generally as an ion. More specifically, an atom that has lost electrons becomes a cation. It has a positive charge. An atom that has gained electrons becomes an anion. An anion has a negative charge.
Atoms that have lost one or more electrons form an ionic bond with an atom that has gained one of more electrons.
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
Atoms that have lost one or more electrons form an ionic bond with an atom that has gained one of more electrons.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.

An ion is certain type of atom. Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons (often to have 8 valence electrons in the s and p orbitals).
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.
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
An electron can be gained or lost from an atom for two reasons: 1. A random number of atoms can be close together will have electrons bumping into each other. Since all electrons have a negative charge, they will have magnetic effects on one another, and will push eachother of the outer shell of their atoms and into different ones. 2.Two or more atoms can bond together so that both atoms in turn have a balanced number of electrons.
