Ions are atoms or molecules that have an electrical charge. Either + or -. Positive ions are often called cations while negatively charged ions are anions. For example, sodium in its elemental state has a positive charge and is notated as Na+ (the + shouild be superscripted). Chloride on the other hand is an anion and would be notated as Cl- (again with the supercript). These ions should look familiar as when they combine the form NaCl, or salt, which is not an ion as it has a neutral charge. The + charge and the - charge balanced and a stable compound was formed.

What is a atom that's has lost electrons?
I don't know the answer, but your grammer is awful. I think you mean 'an atom'
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
When an atom in no longer neutral it exists with a charge an atom that has a charge is called a?
An ION A positively charged (+) ion is named a CATION A negatively charged (-) ion is named an ANION . NB Once an atoms gains/loses electrons, and becomes a charged species, it is NO longer an atom, but an ION.
