Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
You can have positive ions and negative ions. For example, take saltwater which dissociates into: Na+ & Cl- Typically the number positive charges and negative charges must balance.
It is an ion that has multiple charges
Hydroxide (OH-) ions
The only possible charges of ions are whole numbers that result from gaining or losing electrons. For example, common charges include +1, +2, +3 for cations (positively charged ions) and -1, -2, -3 for anions (negatively charged ions).
There are sodium and chloride ions in NaCl where they have +1 and -1 charges respectively.
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.

ANIONS
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
You can have positive ions and negative ions. For example, take saltwater which dissociates into: Na+ & Cl- Typically the number positive charges and negative charges must balance.
The force of repulsion between two ions is caused by the like charges of the ions pushing against each other. This force increases as the charges of the ions and the distance between them increase.
