an atom or molecule carrying charge is an ion. if there's more than one atom involved it's considered polyatomic.

therefore it's called a polyatomic ion.

An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?

An atom that carries an electric charge is called an ion, not a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms that have no charge. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.


Is an ion an or molecule that carries a charge?

An ion is a particle that carries a charge, either positive or negative, due to losing or gaining electrons. It can be a single atom or a group of atoms that have an overall charge. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds and may or may not carry a charge.


Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?

Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.


What is a substance that carries an electical charge?

An example of a substance that carries an electrical charge is an ion. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. These charged particles are essential for many biological and chemical processes in living organisms.


What are the components of the atoms that carries a positive charge?

Protons.


What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?

Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.


What is a tiny particle with a negative electrical charge?
