What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
What are positively charged particles in an atom called?
Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons.
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
Atom or group of atoms having a negative charge?
Ions.Cations are positively charged species. Anions are negatively charged species.
An atom can form a positive ion by?
Normally, atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. To become positively charged, an atom must lose an electron (Thus there'll be more protons than electrons). Such atoms are called cations (positively-charged ions).

What are positively or negatively charged atoms?
They are called ions: postive (cations) and negative (anions).
How is called a positively or negatively charged practicle?
ion, cation for positive, anion for negative.
What are positively and negatively charged particles called?

What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
The atom becomes an ion. Also, A positively charged atom is called a Proton A Negatively charged atom is called a Electron
What are positively and negativity charged ions?
Ions are molecules which have gained (negative) or lost (positive) an electron. Positive Charge are called Cations. Negative Charge are called Anions.
