formation of ions

Any atom or molecule with a net charge, either positive or negative, is known as (a)  

An atom that gains one extra electron forms (a)   with a 1- charge.

A positive ion, called a (a)   is produced when one or more electrons are lost from a neutral atom.

Unlike a cation, which is named for the parent atom, an anion is named by taking the (a)   of the atom and changing the ending.

The name of each anion is obtained by adding the suffix (a)   to the root of the atom name.

The (a)   always form positive ions.

(a)   on the other hand, form negative ions by gaining electrons
