Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Question

The question asks for the term used to describe an atom with an electrical charge. We need to identify the correct term from the given options.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options
  • Isotope: An isotope is a variant of a particular chemical element, which means it has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
  • Molecule: A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.
  • Ion: An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
  • Compound: A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together.
Step 3: Identifying the Correct Term

An atom with an electrical charge is specifically referred to as an "ion" because it has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net charge.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{c. ion}}\)
