When an atom loses or gains an electron, it forms an ion. Similarly if a molecule also lose or gain an electron it forms a molecular ion ,e.g CH4+ CO+ etc.
The OsbCl3 ion has a tetrahedral molecular shape
The term molecular ion is confusing, the answer may be yes or no depending on your definition. No,Ammonium (NH4+) is not a molecular ion because it is formed by co-ordinate covalent bonding between N & H while molecular ions are those which are formed in mass spectrometer beams Yes, because many people would say molecular ion is another name for polyatomic ion. NH4+ is polyatomic.
when an atom loses or gain an electron, it form an ion. similarly, a molecule may also lose or gain an electron to form a molecular ion. example., CH4+
Co+ , ch4+ , n2+ ,c2h6 etc are example of molecular ion.
The molecular weight of the carbonate ion is 60 grams per mole.
its not a molecular compound its an ion

Sulfur hexafluoride is not a monatomic ion but in fact a molecular compound.
C6H8+ ==== As formulated it could be nothing else but a charged molecule and an ion.
