Such charged particles are known as ions. A positively charged ion is called a cation; a negatively charged particle is called an anion.
Ions: cation (positive charge) and anion (negative charge)

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.

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.

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.
