Ion

Ions are: 

• atoms with a positive or negative charge
• atoms with no charge
• atoms with ONLY a positive charge
• atoms with ONLY a negative charge

When an atom loses a valence electron, it becomes a(n) _____________ ion.

• positive
• negative
• neutral
• polyatomic

When an atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a(n) _____________ ion.

• positive
• negative
• neutral
