When an atom gains or loses electrons and therefore becomes an ion, it takes on either a positive or negative charge (positive if it lost electrons, negative if it gained electrons) and can bond to ions of the opposite charge in an ionic bond.

What forms when atom gains or loses electrons?
An ionic bond.
Does beryllium's gains or losses ion?
Beryllium lose electrons (2).
How do anion of nitrogen forms?
A nitrogen anion forms when a nitrogen atom gains three electrons, forming a nitride ion, N3-.
When an atom gains an electron or more it directly becomes negative ion?
True. An atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negative ion.
Does bromine lose or gain electrons?
it gains electrons.
When barium forms its most common ion it gains electrons?
No, it looses two electron and becomes Ba2+
What kind of bond forms from the transfer of electrons?
An ionic bond forms from the transfer of electrons. The atom that loses one or more electrons forms a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negatively charged ion. The ionic bond is formed by an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What happens to the neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
