An ion.
Yes. An atom that has gained one or more electrons is a negatively charged ion called an anion, and an atom that has lost one or more electrons is a positively charged ion called a cation.
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
Electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another
Electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. An ion has an unequal number electrons and protons giving it either a positive or negative charge.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.

Number of electrons are lost by an atom in a chemichl reaction
Yes. An atom that has gained one or more electrons is a negatively charged ion called an anion, and an atom that has lost one or more electrons is a positively charged ion called a cation.
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 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.
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.

-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
