What is an atom that has an electric charge because it lost or gained electrons?

An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.


What is the common ion charge of element Z?

The common ion charge of an element, Z, can be determined by looking at its position on the periodic table and its group number. Elements in the same group tend to have the same common ion charge due to their similar electron configurations. You can also refer to a periodic table to determine the common ion charge of element Z.
