Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms have the same number of electrons and protons and hence have net 0 charge. When an atom gains or loses an electron, it attains a net charge and becomes an ion. When electrons are lost (or donated), the resulting ion is called cation. When electrons are gained, the resulting ion is called an anion.
