No - atoms are always neutral. The number of protons is balanced by a equal number of electrons. Ions, on the other hand, may be positively or negatively charged, depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.

No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.

Which type of compound is composed of negatively and positively charged atoms?
Ionic compounds are composed of negatively and positively charged atoms.
What is true of an atoms's nucleus?
negatively charged and takes up most of the atoms space Takes up most of the atoms mass and is negatively charged
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
The negatively charged particles in atoms are called?
Electrons
Are atoms are composed of?
atoms are made up of positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons and electrically neutral neutrons
Are electron negatively charged atoms?
No. An electron is negatively charged but it is not an atom. It is a subatomic particle and the negatively charged component of an atom.
