Answer:

atoms that no longer have a neutral charge are called ions!

Step-by-step explanation:

when atoms gain or lose electrons, they become either negatively charged or positively charged in the process. losing electrons means the atom becomes more positive, therefore positively charged. gaining electrons means the atom becomes more negative, so negatively charged. atoms that go through this process of gaining or losing electrons are called ions.
