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.
An atom with no electric charge will be called a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, there is a balance of charges, and the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. It's really that simple. Compare this to atoms that have an imbalance of charges. These atoms are called ions.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An atom that is no longer neutral has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. A positively charged atom is called a cation, while a negatively charged atom is called an anion. These charged atoms are called ions.
A proton has a charge of (+1) and an electron has a charge of (-1) and neutrons do not have a charge. In an atom there are an equal numbers of protons and electrons so the charges cancel. If there are a different number of protons and electrons, the particle is no longer an atom, but instead an ion.
When an atom forms an ion, it gains or loses electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. A positively charged ion is called a cation, and a negatively charged ion is called an anion. This change in the number of electrons affects the atom's chemical properties and reactivity.

Its called Extirpated
The Irish Pound no longer exists, but it was called the Punt.
That means the charge is neither positive nor negative, it is neutral. Such an atomhas the same number of protons and electrons. If the charge is not zero then it is called an ion rather than an atom.
equilibrium
The source returns to a balanced state.
How can I get my college transcripts if my college no longer exists?
A proton has a charge of (+1) and an electron has a charge of (-1) and neutrons do not have a charge. In an atom there are an equal numbers of protons and electrons so the charges cancel. If there are a different number of protons and electrons, the particle is no longer an atom, but instead an ion.
All of them are electrically neutral, that is, they do not need to appear in ionic form.
