Sorta, a molecule can neither be positive or negative and atom can only be an ion when in an ionic bond when it received or gave electrons.
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
Molecules contain atoms.... atoms contain ions.
a molecule is more than one atom attached together, an ion is an atom/molecule where the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
ion
Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.
A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called a ligand. Ligands can donate pairs of electrons to the central metal atom or ion, forming coordinate covalent bonds.

'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
A sodium (Na) atom is neither an ion nor a molecule. It is a single, neutral atom with 11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons orbiting around it. An ion is when an atom gains or loses electrons to become charged, and a molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together.
P(3-) is an anion.
A water molecule with an extra hydrogen atom is called a hydronium ion (H3O+). This ion is formed when a water molecule gains a proton, becoming positively charged.
This species is known as a ligand.
