An ION.
Ions are divided into two classes.
CATIONS ;positive ions e.g. Na^(+)
ANIONS ; negative ions e.g Cl^(-)

What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
What Is a atom that grain or lost atom?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?
it becomes an ion
When an atom loses or gains electron electrons it's become a?
Ion
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
How does atoms become charged?
An atom becomes charged when it gains or loses electrons to form an octet.
What is it known as when an atom gains or loses electrons and become negatively or positively charged?
They are known as ions.
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
