If the number of protons in an atom does not match the number of electrons, the atom is specifically called an ion. Ions are also referred to as atom gain or lose electrons. There are two types of ions: positive ions (an atom loses an electron, the results is: it has more protons than electrons ) and negative (an atom gains an electron, the result is: it has more electrons than protons.
