In sodium sulfide (Na₂S), two sodium (Na) atoms each lose one electron, resulting in a total loss of two electrons. Sulfur (S) gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Thus, in Na₂S, there are two electrons lost by sodium and two electrons gained by sulfur.

What are Atoms that have lost or gained called?
Atoms that have lost or gained electron(s) are called ions. If they are positively charged (lost an electron(s)), they are called cations. If they are negatively charged (gained an electron(s), they are called anions.
What is an electrical charge Adam that has lost or gained an electron?
Ion
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.
How many electrons are gained or lost in barium?
In the ion of barium, two electron are lost to follow the octet rule (to have a complete valence electron shell).
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 are Atoms that have lost or gained called?
Atoms that have lost or gained electron(s) are called ions. If they are positively charged (lost an electron(s)), they are called cations. If they are negatively charged (gained an electron(s), they are called anions.
When an atom is reduced what is gained or lost?
Just electron
How many in a charged chlorine atom?
A charged chlorine atom, or a chlorine ion, would have gained or lost an electron. If it gained an electron, it would have a charge of -1. If it lost an electron, it would have a charge of +1.
What is an electronically charged atom that has lost or gained an electron?
neutron
Did number of the electron for chlorine gained or lost?

Ion
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with a atom that has gained a electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What difference 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.
