When an atom has gained or lost electrons.
We have the Hydrogen atom ; 1 proton and 1 electron .
Then we have the hydrogen ion ; 1 proton and no eletrons (Denoted as H^+)
Conversely we have the chlorine atom ; 17 protons, 18 neutrons and 17 electrons
The we have the chloride ion ; 17 protons, 18 neutrons and 18 electrons ( denoted as Cl^-).
NB An atom that has becomes charged is known as an ION. It is no longer an atom.
Positively charged ions are known as CATIONS and negatively charged ions are known as ANIONS.
Group of atoms can form ions too . Notably the sulphate ion (SO4^2-) of the Nitrate ion ( NO3^-)
There are many different cations and anions.

A charged ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged ions are called anions. Charged ions are important in many chemical reactions and biological processes.

What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
An atom that has become charged is called an ion. It can be positively charged (cation) if it has lost electrons, or negatively charged (anion) if it has gained electrons.
What is an electrically charged atom or molecule called?
An electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion. An ion can be either positively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion), depending on the number of electrons it has relative to its number of protons.
What is a charged atom particle called?
Electrons are negatively charged (around the nucleus) and protons are positively charged (inside the nucleus)
When water molecules dissociate into two charged particles they are called?
When water molecules dissociate into two charged particles, they are called ions. Specifically, the positively charged ion is called a hydrogen ion (H+) and the negatively charged ion is called a hydroxide ion (OH-).
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What is a negaitve charged ion?
A negatively charged ion is an anion.
What a ion?
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
What is a charged atom?
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
Is an ion is a charged particle?
yes. negatively charged ion is called cation and where as a positively charged ion is anion.
Between what do ionic bonds form?
it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
An atom that has become charged is called an ion. It can be positively charged (cation) if it has lost electrons, or negatively charged (anion) if it has gained electrons.
A charged atom is?
A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What is an electrically charged atom or molecule called?
An electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion. An ion can be either positively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion), depending on the number of electrons it has relative to its number of protons.
What is the result of the animated process?
The result of the animated process depends on the specific animation being referred to. It could be a moving image, a simulation, a visual effect, or any other outcome achieved through the use of animation techniques.
Is chloride ion negativley charged or positivley charged?
Chloride ion has a valence of negative 1.
A charged atom is also known as?
