    False, a loss of electrons would make the atom positive, it will become a Cation.

    That is false.

    An ion is " an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons."

    But in detail anion means gaining of electrons.

    So, a gain of electrons by an atom creates an anion.
