Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.

How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
Which species are isoelectronic with nitride ion?
Doubly negatively charged oxide ions, singly negatively charged fluoride ions, and neon atoms are isoelectronic with triply negatively charged nitride ions.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?
NO, they are called ions.
What are ions and ionic bonds?
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
Charged atoms are called?
Charged atoms are called ions.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
What is a polyatomic number?
There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.
Are positively and negatively charged atoms?
No, ions are.
When atoms are charged what are they called?
They are called ions.
A negatively charged atom or group of atoms?
Unless they are ions, atoms are neutrally charged. The negatively charged electrons orbitting the nucleus neutralized the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. neutrons do not have an electrical charge. ions are the exception to this, as they have either added or removed orbitting electrons. if an atom has electrons removed, then it is a positively charged cation. most metals form positively charged ions. if electrons are added, then it is a negatively charged anion. most non-metals form negatively charged ions.
What form of atoms or molecules form ionic bonds?
Ions, charged atoms
What is the difference between positively charged molecular ions and positively charged ions having group of atoms?
Molecular Ions essentially consist of the same type of atoms (most probably the atoms of the same element) and the radicals may not have the same characteristic.
What is called a charged atom or a group of atoms?
A charged atom or group of atoms are known as ions or radicals.
What are atoms called that hsve the same number of protons but different numbers of electrons?
Ions. They are charged molecules or charged atoms.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have ____.?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
What are charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons?
Ions
