Answer: Ions and electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Example: Fe

Ions are the charged species which resukts when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons. Example:
Na^+

Electron is the negatively charged particle which is present in the shells outside the nucleus. Example:
e^-

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms are held together by chemical bonds. Example :
