What does an atom that has lost or gained an electron become?
Generically an "ion", specifically gained an electron an "anion", lost and electron a "cation".
What happens lithium atom that has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
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.
An atom that has gained one electron has a charge of?
-1, since each electron has a charge of -1.
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an elctric charge?
An ion. Eg Na atom loses one electron to become Na+
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What are differences between atom and ion?
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.

What happens when an atom that has lost an electron in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with a atom that has gained a electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electronic comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
A molecule is an atom that has gained or lost an electron?
The answer is simply an "ion." The atom itself cannot be named until it has gained or lost an electron, in which it has lost an electron to become more positive, it would become a cation. If the ion had gained an electron to become more negatively charged, it is then named an anion.
