Electrically charged particle (3)
I believe the answer is:
ion
'electrically charged particle' 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" , "Charged atom/molecule" , "Electrically charged particle" .)
