Answer:

Conveniently enough, bonds between ions are called ionic bonds. These bonds are formed when an electron of one atom is either donated or taken by another atom. When an atom donates an electron, it gains a positive charge. The atom accepting the electron gains a negative charge.

☁️ Answer ☁️

If an atom gives away an electron, it becomes..... positive

If an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes ionized, or charged

Hope it helps.
