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.
.The electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electrical charge.(The proton carries a positive charge, and the neutron carries no charge.)In the atom the electron is negatively charged.
An electron is negatively charged.
An electron is part of an atom.The electron can hold an electric charge. Some atoms have only one electron.
This is the electron.
An electron is negatively charged.
Atoms become negatively charged when they gain an electron.
This is the particle in an orbital in the space around the atoms nucleus and it is called an electron.
Atoms that have lost or gained electron(s) are called ions. If they are positively charged (lost an electron(s)), they are called cations. If they are negatively charged (gained an electron(s), they are called anions.
Negatively charged particles in an atom are known as electrons.
If you look at the structure of an atom you will see that the positive charges (protons), are secured in the centre (nucleus) of the atom along with the neutral charges (neutrons), while the negative charges (electrons) are situated in shells around the nucleus, and are therefore easier to get at.
When atoms lose or gain an electron, they become ions. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
Nonmetal atoms release energy when they gain an electron to form a negatively charged anion because the electron affinity of nonmetals is usually high. This process involves the attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus of the nonmetal atom, resulting in the release of energy.
