An atom or group of atoms that carries an electric charge is called an?
Electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Ions occur when an atom looses or gains electrons. A normal atom is neutral, because it has the same number of positive protons and negative neutrons. When electrons are lost or gained, the atom can become positive (a cation) or negative (an anion). When an atom is positeve or negative, it is electrically charged.
Does an ion refer to two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds?
No. What you describe is called a molecule. An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a net electrical charge.
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
What is the electric charge of the nucleus of every atom?
neutral
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
An atom differs in electric charge from ions because atoms are electrically neutral, containing equal numbers of protons and electrons. Ions are charged particles resulting from atoms that have gained or lost electrons, creating an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons.
What is an atom or a group of atoms called with an electric charge?
That's called an ion.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
What is an atom or group of atoms that have a positive charge?
they are the cations

What is an atom or group of atoms called that has a neutral charge?
neutron
An ion is?
An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) with an electrical charge.
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
What is the name of any atom or group of atoms with a negative charge?
An atom or group of atoms with a negative charge is called an anion. Anions have gained one or more electrons, leading to an overall negative charge.
What is an atom or a group of atoms having a net electrical charge?
It is an ion.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
What are atoms that carry an electric charge?
An atom that does not have a neutral charge is called an ion. It has an unequal number of protons and electrons.
An atom or group of combined atoms that has a charge because of the loss or gain?
Ion
