Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
they form an ionic bond (:
electronThe electron is a negatively charged particle.
When sodium gives its electron to chlorine, sodium becomes positively charged (Na+) and chlorine becomes negatively charged (Cl-). This forms an ionic bond between the two ions, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt.
This is the electron.
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it were to lose a valence electron, which is less common for chlorine, it would become a positively charged ion, but this scenario is unlikely due to its high electronegativity. Thus, the most common ion formed by chlorine is Cl⁻ when it gains an electron.

When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When a particle loses electrons, it becomes positively charged due to having more protons than electrons. Conversely, if a particle gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons. This imbalance in charge leads to the formation of a charged particle.
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
they form an ionic bond (:
Ion.
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
Electrons are negatively charged, and so are some ions. It depends what ion you are talking about. All atoms start off neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons. When they become ions, they gain charge. For instance, a sodium chloride ion (NaCl) the metal ion, sodium, becomes positively charged because it loses one negatively charged particle (an electron). Chlorine then becomes negative, because it has gained a negatively charged electron. Hope this helps :)
This particle is the electron, negatively charged.
