Monatomic
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative 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).
ion
The atom of an element of sodium is called a sodium atom. It consists of a nucleus containing 11 protons surrounded by a cloud of 11 electrons.
A ion
You call it an ion of that isotope. Let's use carbon-14 for example. If a carbon-14 atom gains/loses an electron, you simply call it a "carbon-14 ion".
An atom of a different element.
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
This is a cation (positive ion).
This is a cation (positive ion).
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
A sodium (Na) atom is neither an ion nor a molecule. It is a single, neutral atom with 11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons orbiting around it. An ion is when an atom gains or loses electrons to become charged, and a molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together.
A positive ion or a Cation
The name is ion.
An ion. If electrons are in excess over proton then it is negative ion. And if less then positive ion
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
