Do ions have a positive or negative charge?
It depends on what ion it is. If it is a cation, then the ion has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Is the charge of a zinc ion positive or negative?
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
What is the charge of an ion that gained electrons?
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
Is copper positively charged or negatively charged?
A copper ions has a positive charge, most commonly 2+.
Do ions have a positive or negative charge?

What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
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 ."
Is the charge of a zinc ion positive or negative?
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
A positively charged ion will bond with?
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
