What is a positively charged ion called and how does an ion obtain a positive charge?
A positively charged ion is called a cation while a negatively charged ion is called a anion. It obtains a positive charge when it gives out electrons to another atom to gain stability. A positively charged ion is called a cation while a negatively charged ion is called a anion. It obtains a positive charge when it gives out electrons to another atom to gain stability.
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
What are the charged particles formed called?
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
What is the charge on boron when it becomes an ion?
boron ion is represented as B+, singly charged, positive.
What is an ion with more electrons than protons?
When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged. The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (protons).
A positively charged ion will bond with?
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
A positive ion known as an?
it is called a cation and a negitively charged ion is an anion
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
What is the term used to refer to the charge an ion has?
There is no exact term except negative or positive ion. Perhaps the term you are looking for is ionization.

Is an ion charged?
Yes. By definition, an ion carries a positive or negative charge.
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
An atom with two protons and one electron carries a positive charge it is called a positive charged?
Positively charged ion.
What are the charged particles formed called?
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
