An ion.
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
An atom becomes charged when it either gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion); if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation). This process is known as ionization.
A charged atom or group of atoms are known as ions or radicals.

A charged atom is called an ion. Ions can be positively charged, known as cations, when they lose electrons, or negatively charged, known as anions, when they gain electrons. This charge imbalance is what distinguishes ions from neutral atoms.
Negatively charged particles in an atom are known as electrons.
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
Proton
The proton
When an electron is removed from an atom, it is considered to be ionized. This results in the formation of a positively charged ion known as a cation, while the atom itself becomes positively charged.
They are known as ions.
