An ION
A positive ion is named a CATION e.g. Na^+ , Mg^2+ etc.,
A negative ion is named an ANION e.g. Cl^- , O^2- e.tc.,
When they are ions they are NOT called atoms, but ions.
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.

covalent/ionic bonding.
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
It is called an ion.
An atom is electrically neutral; it has the same number of positively charged protons as it has negatively charged electrons. If an atom either gains or loses one or more electrons, then it will have an electric charge, and will be an ion.

I suppose that you think to ions.
