It depends,
a proton if is is positively charged ( +)
electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
An electrically charged atom is called an ION. If positive, it is a cation. If negative, it is an anion.

An ion.
when an atom loses an electron it becomes positive because it just lot a negetive part to its structure. The name given to these positively charged particles is Cation
a nucleus
It is an ION Answer: Yes it is an Ion, but no, it is formally called an Anion. Because it gained an electron it has become negatively charged. If it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
"Positively charged ions" or cation is the name given to an atom that has lost electrons, i.e. has more protons than electrons.Read more: Atom_with_more_electrons_than_protons
The small, negatively-charged particle in an atom is an electron. However, this is not in the nucleus. The small negative particles in the nucleus are down quarks, which are smaller than protons and electrons. Strange quarks and bottom quarks are also negative, but are not found in the nucleus.

Ion... Anion, negative charge... Cation, positive charge
It is called ion. If it is positively charged then it is called as cation and if it is negatively charged it is called anion

There are two types of particles in the center of an atom. The ones that are positively charged are protons. The others have no change and they are called neutrons.
the negatively charged particles that surround the nucleus of an atom are electrons.
