So atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons. And ions that have a positive charge are called cations. [DOC] [TLE] Electric Charge in the Atom - Boundless [PAR] Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation. [DOC] [TLE] Q: What does an atom become when it gains or loses an electron? [PAR] When an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an ion. Ions formed by the 
loss of an electron have a positive charge, and those formed by gaining an 
electron have a negative... ... An ion consisting of more than one atom is called a
