Such charged particles are known as ions. A positively charged ion is called a cation; a negatively charged particle is called an anion.
Ions: cation (positive charge) and anion (negative charge)
A charged atom or group of atoms are known as ions or radicals.

That's called an ion.
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.

Electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Ions occur when an atom looses or gains electrons. A normal atom is neutral, because it has the same number of positive protons and negative neutrons. When electrons are lost or gained, the atom can become positive (a cation) or negative (an anion). When an atom is positeve or negative, it is electrically charged.
a charged group of two or more nonmedal atoms is called a?
A charged group of covalently bonded atoms is called a polyatomic ion.

It's called an ion, and it simply means a charged atom (or group of atoms.)
If the group of atoms are all the same, it is called a molecule. If the group of atoms are different, it is called a compound, assuming they are bonded in some way. Otherwise, it is just called a group of atoms.
A charged group of covalently bonded atoms is called a polyatomic ion. These ions have a net positive or negative charge due to an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. Examples include sulfate (SO4^2-) and ammonium (NH4^+).
