energy is released when a redox reaction takes place(ie both oxidation & reduction)

What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?

Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.

What happens to electrons during ion formation?

During ion formation, electrons are either gained or lost by an atom. When electrons are lost, a positively charged ion forms (cation), and when electrons are gained, a negatively charged ion forms (anion). This process balances the number of protons and electrons in the atom to achieve a stable electron configuration.
