Charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons are called ions.. A perfect example of this is H+, which is a hydrogen with one less electron than normal. In other words, H+ is a single proton, with no electrons.
Atoms with an overall charge due to an unequal number of electrons and protons are called ions.
if more protons it's positive. if more electrons it's negative.
Ions...

Ions
ions
These substances are called ions.
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
That is called an ion.
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
- An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.- Hydrogen form the cation H+.
Ions.
These substances are called ions.

Ion If an atom either give up or gains electrons, it becomes an ion. an atom that has a positive or negative charge due to unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
That is called an ion.
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
For any element an atom contains EQUAL number of protons and electrons. An atom has no charge. If any given atom has an unequal number of electrons and protons it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
Ions are charged particles therefore ions must always have an unequal number of Protons and Electrons. Since the amount of protons, in general, can't change, then the amount of charge is controlled by how much electrons are present. E.g., If there is 7 protons and 7 electrons, the charge is 0 as the protons cancelled out the electrons. However if it gained 3 electrons, it would be 7 protons and 10 electrons and therefore have a charge of -3 (Because electrons are negatively charged)
