Answer:
Yes it is an Ion, but no, it is formally called an Anion. Because it gained an electron it has become negatively charged. If it loses an electron it becomes a cation.

∙ 9y agoWhen an atom gains or loses an electron, it's called an ion. Ions have a net positive or negative electrical charge.
If an atom loses electrons, it has a net positive charge and is known as a cation. If an atom gains electrons, it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.
