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.

What does molecule mean in a scientific term?
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bound together by covalent bonds (sharing electrons) in a particle that is electrically neutral.
An atom or group of atoms that carries an electric charge is called an?
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.
What are electrically charged atom or group of atmos with unpaired electrons in their outermost shell?
An electrically charged atom or group of atoms with an unpaired electron in its outermost shell is called a free radical. If the outermost shell of an atom is half-filled with electrons, that atom is most likely to share electrons.
Which group of the periodic table do atoms try to be like?
8a group is the group in which the atoms "try to be like."
Why to atoms of element in the same group o the periodic table tend to form the same charge if they become an ion or form the same number of covalent bonds when bonded in this way to the other atoms?
because the elements themselfs become prototypes and so become decayed i think. warning this maybe the wrong answer.
What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What are an electrically neutral group of atoms joined together by covelent bonds are called?
molecules
What is molcuse?
an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Are ions electrically neutral or do they have a charge Explain?
a charged group of two or more nonmedal atoms is called a?
Atom group of atoms that has become electrically charge?
Atoms become electrically charge when they reacting to one another. The two groups of charged atoms are cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged), and all together these types of atoms are called ions. The ability to become electrically charge depends on their electronegativity values and ionization energies. Electronegativity refers to an atom's "pull" on electrons, meaning that the more electronegative an atom is the harder it will "pull" on electrons from other atoms. The more electronegative atoms (typically the anions) reside on the far right side of the periodic table. Ionization energy refers to the energy needed to pluck an electron from an atom. Atoms with the lower energy typically have lower electronegativity values, making them cations (which are to the left of the periodic table).

Does atoms makes a molecule?
In chemistry, a molecule is defined as a sufficiently stable electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong chemical bonds. It can also be defined as a unit of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.
A group of atoms that are joined together is?
If you're asking "do two or more atoms in a chemical bond make a molecule?", Wikipedia defines a molecule thus:A molecule is defined as a sufficiently stable, electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong (covalent) chemical bonds.... so your answer is:yes.
