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

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

Thesis The is the particular viewpoint or theory for which a historian provides support. The is composed of historical sources that provide support for a historian's viewpoint or theory. Because historical events are not directly observable, and the evidence necessary to support the thesis of an argument may be fragmented or incomplete, it is to prove a thesis with absolute certainty. In light of this, it is the task of historians to provide as evidence as possible to support their theses, thereby providing the most convincing, well-supported interpretation of historical events.
