Negatively chared would be the opposite of burned. So it is unburned.

It is positively charged and includes most of the atom and mass.


What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?

when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.


What is a charged atom?

A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.


Does every atom have a negatively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons?

No. Every atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.Unless you are talking about antimatter. The atoms of antimatter have negatively charged nuclei and surrounded by positively charged positrons


What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?

When atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged, they form ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.


How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?

An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.


What a ion?

An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.


What kind of charged does an atom have?

Atoms are neutrally, positively, or negatively charged.


Is an atom's nucleus negatively or positively charged?

nucleus has positive charge


Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?

In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.


What has a Positively or negatively charged atom?

These are ions: positive (cations) and negative (anions).
