When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of two charged atoms, also known as ions. An ion is a type of atom or a molecule which doesn't have the same number of electrons and protons, as is the case here - there are more protons in the first atom, and more electrons in the second one.
