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 (:
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.
electronThe electron is a negatively charged particle.

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 or loses a valence electron, it becomes a charged particle known as an ion. Specifically, when it gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion (Cl⁻), and when it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation, although chlorine typically forms anions. This change in charge occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus remains constant while the number of electrons changes.
If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it loses a valence electron, it would become a positively charged ion, although this is less common for chlorine. These charged particles are called ions, which result from the gain or loss of electrons.
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.
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
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.

No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
