When Ionizing Xenon you can only loss electrons. A +2 or +1 ion. Incoming electrons have no inclination to stay as all inter-S orbitals are filled.

What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?

Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.

What charge does an ion have?

An ion can have a positive charge (cation) if it has lost electrons, or a negative charge (anion) if it has gained electrons. The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost during the process of ionization.
