What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
What has a positive ion?
A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).
A molecule is an atom that has gained or lost an electron?
The answer is simply an "ion." The atom itself cannot be named until it has gained or lost an electron, in which it has lost an electron to become more positive, it would become a cation. If the ion had gained an electron to become more negatively charged, it is then named an anion.
What doesn't carry a charge?
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
An ion an atom or molecule that?
Carries an electric charge

Does an ion have a charge?
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
What is an atom with an overall electric charge called?
An Ion
What is ionic charge p?
Ionic charge refers to the electric charge on an ion, which is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule. It is determined by the number of electrons gained or lost by the atom or molecule. Positive ionic charge (cations) is formed when an atom loses electrons, while negative ionic charge (anions) is formed when an atom gains electrons.
Does an ion refer to two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds?
No. What you describe is called a molecule. An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a net electrical charge.
What is the general term for an ion such as phosphate which is molecule that has an overall electric charge?
Polyatomic ion
