This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Typically, a negative ion is formed by gaining electrons. This is because electrons hvae a negative charge. An example of a case where a positive ion can be formed by gaining an electron is when an ion with a charge of +2 can gain 1 electron and become +1. Technically in this case, a positive ion was formed when an electron was gained but the trend was that the ion became more negative not positive.
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.

An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
An Ion.
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
In general, an atom with a charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion.A positively charged atom is called a cation and a negatively charged atom is an anion.
