ion

'charged atom' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ion that I've seen before include "Particle (phys.)" , "Subatomic particle" , "Eletrically charged particle" , "Electrically charged particle" , "Charged atom/molecule" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Universal, the USA Today, The Independent, the Newsday, The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and the King Feature Syndicate.
