It becomes a negatively charged ion.
Generically an "ion", specifically gained an electron an "anion", lost and electron a "cation".
The lithium atom, which has lost an electron to become positively charged, will be attracted to the chlorine atom, which has gained an electron to become negatively charged. They may form an ionic bond by transferring electrons from lithium to chlorine, creating lithium chloride.
-1, since each electron has a charge of -1.
It forms a new atom.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
An ion. Eg Na atom loses one electron to become Na+
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.
