I think what happens is when it get more protons(+) than electrons(-) or vise versa. This can happen through simple things like when you rub your feet on the carpet and when you touch something metal you get a nice shock, also know as static electricity. What happens here is when the two objects are rubbed together electrons jump between the objects. This is just a small example of how this happens.
Hope that helped, Kalrag

How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.
Which part of an atom is positively charged and which part is negatively charged?
It is the nucleus of an atom that is positively charged. You'll recall that an atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons (hydrogen-1 excepted). And the protons and neutrons hang out in the nucleus, giving it an overall positive charge because the proton has a positive change.
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
A postively charged particle in an atom is called a?
Proton.

When an atom loses an electron and become negatively charged we refer to it as an?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
What happens to an atom's overall charge if it gains an electron?
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.
Does an atom that gains an electron become negatively charged?
yes
How an atom becomes postively or negatively charged when it loses or gains electrons?
An atom is electrically neutral only because the positively charged protons in the nucleus are balanced by the negatively charged electrons orbiting them. Therefore if an atom looses or gains an electrons, the balance is disrupted and an atom overall becomes positively or negatively charged. Loss of electrons will make the atom positvely charged and vice versa.
What charge does a neutral atom become when an electron is added?
It will become negative by electron addition, because electrons are negatively charged, -1. It is then called an ion.
Are electron negatively charged atoms?
No. An electron is negatively charged but it is not an atom. It is a subatomic particle and the negatively charged component of an atom.
When an electron is gained the atom become an?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
When atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged, they form ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.
Which part of an atom is positively charged and which part is negatively charged?
It is the nucleus of an atom that is positively charged. You'll recall that an atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons (hydrogen-1 excepted). And the protons and neutrons hang out in the nucleus, giving it an overall positive charge because the proton has a positive change.
