If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?

If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!
