$\huge{\boxed{\sf\pink{\fcolorbox{red}{purple}{ANSWER:}}}}$

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

Answer 2

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. Picture 1.8 Some atoms lose electrons and become positive ions.
