covalent/ionic bonding.
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
An atom is electrically neutral; it has the same number of positively charged protons as it has negatively charged electrons. If an atom either gains or loses one or more electrons, then it will have an electric charge, and will be an ion.
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
Isotope
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
