Atoms can become ions if one or more of the outer sheell electrons are knocked off by any external energy, say an X-ray, Gamma Ray or simple heat. Hydrogen is H-atom and H2 molecule. When it loses an outer shell electron it becomes H-1, that is a negatively charged ion. In case of Hydrogen, since there is only one electron in the s-shell, hydrogen ion is similar to a hydrogen nucleas. Read " Nature and property of Chemical bonds" by Linus Pauling.
Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.
Aluminum atoms are called ions, specifically aluminum ions. By losing their valence electrons, aluminum atoms become positively charged ions, as they have more protons than electrons.
Ions are created in chemical reactions and natural processes when atoms gain or lose electrons. This process, known as ionization, occurs when atoms become charged by either gaining electrons to become negatively charged ions (anions) or losing electrons to become positively charged ions (cations).
Yes, electrons are transferred from sodium atoms to chlorine atoms to form ionic bonds. Sodium atoms lose one electron to become positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain one electron to become negatively charged chloride ions. This transfer creates an electrostatic attraction that holds the ions together in an ionic compound.
Atoms that gain or lose electrons become ions, not molecules. Ions are charged particles due to an imbalance of protons and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms are bonded together by sharing electrons.

metals
All atoms can become ions, but in most it is rare
the ions react with alkaline soils and produse atoms.
Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become charged particles called ions. When atoms gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions, while atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. This transfer of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable state by filling their outer electron shell.
Non Metals
Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.
Positive ions form when an atom or group of atoms loses one or more electrons.
