ions
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
Ionization level refers to the number of electrons that an atom has lost or gained, resulting in the formation of an ion. An atom with a positive ionization level has lost electrons and becomes positively charged, while an atom with a negative ionization level has gained electrons and becomes negatively charged.
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.

An atom of a different element.
It forms a new atom.
An ion
Just electron
Generically an "ion", specifically gained an electron an "anion", lost and electron 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.
neutron
They form an ionic compound.
