plasma
When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become negatively charged if they gain electrons (anions) or positively charged if they lose electrons (cations). These charged atoms are known as ions.
Atoms or ions that have more electrons than protons have extra electrons. This typically occurs in negatively charged ions or in atoms that have gained additional electrons through a chemical reaction.
Metals lose electrons and form cations to get a full octet.
Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become charged particles called ions. When atoms gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions, while atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. This transfer of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable state by filling their outer electron shell.
Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.

metallic
The mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions in a metallic bond are called "delocalized electrons." These electrons are free to move throughout the structure of the metal, giving it its characteristic properties such as high electrical conductivity and malleability.
Ions with 18 electrons are exceptions (ex.: Cl-).
A valence electron are electrons on the outer most shell/oritals of an atom. Basicly they are the electrons on the outside of an atom. Valence electrons are very important when involving chemical bonds and ions.
Ions can become molecules at the electrodes through electrodeposition or electrochemical reduction or oxidation processes. When a specific voltage is applied across the electrodes, ions gain or lose electrons, leading to the formation of neutral molecules. This can occur when ions react with other species present at the electrodes or in the electrolyte.
Ions that are deficient in electrons are called cations. Cations have a positive charge due to the lack of electrons compared to the number of protons in the nucleus. These ions are typically formed by metals losing electrons during chemical reactions.
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
