ion That statement isn't true. An ion is an atom with an uneven amount of protons and electrons.
Ion. A positive charge would make it a cation,and a negative charge would make it anion.
Atoms that have charge are called ions. Ions can have a positive,neutral, or negative charge. If an ion is in a neutral atom is loses one or more electrons.
Anion, or negatively charged ion. Eg = Cl- , S2- , N3- , Br- , etc
Atoms with unbalanced electrical charges are called ions. Those with positive charges are called cations. Those with negative charges are called anions.
It is called an ion

An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
Atomic particles with no charge are neutrons, and neutrinos.
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
Removing only one electron from any atom will always make its charge +1, as there is only one unbalanced proton in the atom.
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
Electrical charges are an inherent property of certain subatomic particles. Protons (found in the nucleus of atoms have a positive electrical charge and the nucleus is surrounded by a balancing field of negatively charged electrons. Effectively in the physical and chemical world the only particle that we can manipulate is the electron as the protons are generally not accessible to us. However if one strips an electron form the outer surface of an atom then the atom becomes unbalanced electrically and overall displays a positive electrical charge. Similarly if one adds an electron to an atom then the atom becomes unbalanced electrically and overall displays a negative electrical charge. Electrons, can in certain circumstances be made to flow from one atom to another in a uniform direction, this is called an electric current.
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
Having a charge it is called an ION. No charge means: same number of protons and electrons.
A particle with a negative electrical charge is called an electron.
2 unbalanced electrons have a 2- charge on the molecule/atom
It is called an ion.
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
An atom does not have an electrical charge. Atoms have equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If there are not equal numbers of protons (+1) and electrons (-1) then it is not called an atom, it is called an ion.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
