The answer is simply an "ion." The atom itself cannot be named until it has gained or lost an electron, in which it has lost an electron to become more positive, it would become a cation. If the ion had gained an electron to become more negatively charged, it is then named an anion.
What else can I help you with?
What is an atom that has lost or gained an electron and now carries a positive or negative charge called?
I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with an atom that gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
What happens when an atom that has lost a electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
What is an example of an ion?
An ion is an atom or molecule which has either gained an electron or lost one so that it is no longer neutral.
What does an atom that has lost or gained an electron become?
Generically an "ion", specifically gained an electron an "anion", lost and electron a "cation".
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.

When an atom is reduced what is gained or lost?
Just electron
What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.

-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electronic comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?

What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
When an electron is gained, the atom becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. When an electron is lost, the atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
