When atoms lose or gain electrons, they are called ions. As electrons are negatively charged, it is when they gain electrons that they become negative ions, if they lose electrons they become positive ions.
They can also form ions in pairs. for example
sodium atom (NA) gives up it's outer electron and becomes an NA+ ion.
the chlorine atom (CL) picks up the spare electron and becomes a CL- ion.
What else can I help you with?
