What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]
Which particles are involved when atoms form molecules ? All matter consists of atoms. The primary particles involved are electrons, which are charged negatively; protons that are positively charged, and neutrons; they have no charge. These are all that have importance in chemistry. There are some other very small particles, but they are studied by physicists in the field of nuclear particle physics. Electrons are the only particle involved in chemical reactions. Atoms form compounds using chemical reactions.
They have no and do not form charged particles: ions, protons, electrons
An easy way of determining bonding types is to look at the elements in the substance. 2 metals is most likely a metallic bond. The 2 or more metals are surrounded by a sea of electrons holding them together. 2 non-metals is usually a covalent bond in which each atom donates an electron(s) which is then shared between the atoms. A metal and a non-metal is usually an ionic bond. The metal atoms wish to lose their outer shell electrons (valence electrons) and the non-metal atoms wish to gain valence electrons. The metal atoms donate electrons to the non-metal atoms forming cations (positively charged particles) and anions (negatively charged particles). The charged particles are then attracted to each other and form a 3D fixed structure. Al2O3 is an ionic bond and forms a fixed lattice.
The electrons in atoms are the important particles in covalent bonds. The electrons in an atom are negatively charged, and when two atoms share electrons, this allows their electric field to become more stable.
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.

Static electricity is stationary electrical charge. Electrical current is moving electrical charge. Electrical charge is held in charge carriers. In electrical wiring there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles from the conduction band of the metal atoms of the wire. These electrons are delocalized and form an "electron gas" that fills the bulk of the solid metal. In semiconductor electronics there are two types of charge carriers: electrons and holes. Electrons are negatively charged real particles from the conduction band of atoms in the semiconductor. Holes are positively charged virtual particles produced when electrons are missing from the valence band of atoms in the semiconductor. In vacuum tube electronics there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles that can move freely through the vacuum inside the tube envelope from the negatively charged cathode to the positively charged anode. In chemistry there are two types of charge carriers: negatively charged ions and positively charged ions. Negatively charged ions are atoms with extra electrons n their valence band. Positively charged ions are atoms with electrons missing from their valence band. Atoms are real particles. In plasma physics there is one kind of charge carrier: positively charged highly ionized atoms. Positively charged highly ionized atoms are atoms missing many (possibly all) electrons. Atoms (even their bare nuclei without any electrons) are real particles. In particle physics there are three charge states of a particle: negative, neutral, and positive. The negative and positive particles are charge carriers. So yes, there are particles in electricity. But then in Quantum Mechanics everything is both a particle and a wave at the same time.
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.

Everything you see, touch, or handle is made of atoms, and the atoms are collections of electrically charged particles. There's no easy way to get at the positively charged particles, because they're deep down in the atom, and they're quite immune to anything we can do to disturb them. But the negatively charged particles, called "electrons", are arranged in shells that form the outside of the atoms, and it's comparitively easy to break electrons free of their atoms. When that happens, you have electricity ... either a bunch of electrons all piled up in one place and not going anywhere, or a river of electrons flowing from one place to another.
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
ions
An atom becomes charged when it gains or loses electrons to form an octet.
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
A charged atom - one that has either lost or gained electrons - is called an ion.
