Respuesta :

If it is an individual atom, it becomes an ion. If it is an object such as a balloon, the answer is likely that it just becomes charged, whether negatively (if it gains electrons) or positively (if it loses electrons).

Answer:

Ions.

Explanation:

Elements have naturally an equilibrated amount of electrons and protons, that is, negative and positive charges.

If an element gain or loses electrons, it becomes an ion, which is a particle electrically charged, that is, a particle that is not electrically neutral. This ionic state is achieved from a neutral state to a charged state by gaining or losing electrons.

Therefore, the right answer here is "ions".
