ION A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION NB When an atom becomes a charged species it is no longer an atom, but an ION . An atom has a neutral charge.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
