Atoms with extra electrons (4)

I believe the answer is:

ions

(Other definitions for ions that I've seen before include "items with a charge" , "Electrically-charged particles" , "Charged atom or molecule" , "N in radio comms." , "Electrically charged particles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
