Do you mean gained by another ion? That could be an ionic bond.

What is an ion that has lost or gained electrons called?
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.
The atom that has gained or lost electrons is called 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.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom what does it form?
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it forms an ion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called a?
an ion.
A charged atom is?
A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What is an atom that is no longer nutreal because is has gained or lost an electron?
A charged atom is called an ion. If it is charged because it has lost one or more electrons, then it has a positive charge, and is called a cation. If it has gained one or more electrons it is called a anion, and has a negative charge.
An atom or a molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons is called?
When an atom gains or loses electrons, it is trying establish a more stable situation in which it has a full valence shell. An atom that has gained or lost valence electrons is called an ion. When a positive ion and a negative ion can bond due to their opposite charges. This is called an ionic bond.
An atom that has gained or lost electrons and thus carries an electrical 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.
What is a charge particle that forms when one or more electrons are transferred from one element to another?
It is called an Ion.
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
