There is no exact term except negative or positive ion. Perhaps the term you are looking for is ionization.

What is an ion charge?
This is the electrical charge of the ion.
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a netural ion?
No. It becomes a positive ion. Since neutral means having no charge the term "neutral ion" is self-contradictory; there is no such thing.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Is the charge in an accetate ion -3?
No. The acetate ion has a -1 charge.
What is the cation charge of V3?
A cation is an ion that carries a positive charge & can combine with certain anions. The charge depends on the metals used.
What is the general word for both cations and anions?
The term "ion" can be used to refer to both anions and cations.
What term is defined as a atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
What term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
What is the general term for an ion such as phosphate which is molecule that has an overall electric charge?
Polyatomic ion
What is the general term for an ion such as phosphate which is a molecule that has an overall electric charge?
Polyatomic ion
What is an atom that has an electric charge because it lost or gained electrons?
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
How is a positive ion different than ion?
An ion may have either a positive charge or a negative charge. So there term "positive ion" simply tells which of the two general types it belongs to.
Does an ion have a charge?
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
Is hydroxide a liquid?
The term hydroxide is generally used to refer to an ion and not a "substance" per se. In that light, hydroxide cannot be a solid, liquid or gas as we think of atoms or molecules. The hydroxide ion is a bonded pair of atoms, one of oxygen and one of hydrogen. It has the chemical symbol OH- because this ion "came from somewhere" with a "partner" ion that a "+" charge on it. The ions, because they are in a situation where they've become separated from each other, are not generally considered using the term "liquid" when we look at them (even though they may be in liquid solution).
What is different between charge and ion?
An Ion is an electricly charged atom where as the term 'charge' means as if you're giving power to something that is in need of electricity or the word charge could mean as if you are charging someone for payment.
What is an ion charge?
This is the electrical charge of the ion.
What do you understand by the term ion?
An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, and therefore has developed a negative or positive charge.
