Ions 1
Anion
A negatively charged ion; an atom that has gained electrons
Cation
A positively charged ion; an atom that has lost electrons.
positive
An atom becomes a _____________ ion even though it is losing electrons because electrons have a negative charge. It is losing its negative charge and becoming more _____________.
negative
An atom becomes a negative ion even though it is gaining electrons because electrons have a ____________ charge.
