Ion... Anion, negative charge... Cation, positive charge
J.J. Thompson's model of the atom, often refered to as the "plum pudding model" due to it's random distribution of electrons throughout the atom, suggested that negatively charged electrons were scattered about a positively charged jelly-like substance, with the charge from the positive material canceling out the negative charge from the electrons.
An Ion
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
Neutron
Ion... Anion, negative charge... Cation, positive charge
The overall charge on an atom will depend on the ratio of protons to electrons in that atom. If the numbers match, the overall charge will be zero. It's a neutral atom. But if electrons have been "captured" or "loaned out" by the atom, an ion is created, and its charge will be negative if it has captured electrons, or positive if it has loaned out electrons. Charge will vary by integer amounts, i.e., the charge will be -1, -2, -3, etc. for the capture of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively, or +1, +2, +3, etc. for the loaning out of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively. Simple and easy.
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

Proton
An Ion
"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

O2 is the symbolic representation for a diatomic molecule consisting of two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom has a general oxidation state of -2. There is generally no special name given to it, other than classifying it as an oxygen atom.
nucleus
Ion
An ion.
