A polyatomic ion.
For example, ammonium, chemical formula (NH4) with a 1+ electrical overall charge.

Covalent compounds
A Polyatomic ion is a covalently bonded group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and acts as a unit
Molecules are made out of atoms, without atoms there are no molecules. Charged molecules (ions) will form compounds as elements do, by combining in whole-number ratios with the ions of other elements and compounds.
A group of chemically bonded atoms is termed a molecule.
Glutamic acid covalently bonded with a phosphate group
An ion that contains a covalently bonded group of atoms is called a "polyatomic ion".
An ion is a charged particle. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently bonded atoms that, as a whole, have a charge.
A molecule.
A group of covalently bonded atoms that acts together as one charged atom is called a polyatomic ion. It is also known as molecular ion.

You think to a ion (anion or cation).
A phosphorus atom surrounded by and chemically bonded to each of four oxygen atoms is commonly called a "phosphate ion" if it is a triply charged anion or a "phosphate group" if present in a covalently bonded compound.
Carbon Dioxide is an example of a compound that is bonded together covalently. An ion is an atom in which the total number of electrons do not match the total number of protons. A compound is a group of atoms bonded together.
