<span>If it gains an electron (2 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it becomes an ion that is negatively charge because it has more electrons than protons </span>

<span>A molecule - when 2 or more "different" elements combine or when 2 or more of the "same" elements combine </span>

<span>1 proton 1 electron <----- that is considered to be neutral </span>

<span>3 protons, 3 electrons <----- neutral </span>
