It is merely a sign convention. Electron does not have negative charge. We just know that there are two types of charges in nature. Opposite charges attract and like charges repel. We arbitrarily assume electron to have a charge called "negative". It would have been as well if we would have called charge on electron as "A" and charge on proton as "B". So its just an assumed name.

What type of electrons will a negatively charged atom have?
All electrons are the same. A negatively charged atom would be an anion.
What does charge?
Electrons are negatively charged.
Why will electrons moved from negatively charge body?
Electrons are negatively charged. Opposites attract, so they are attracted to positively charged bodies.
What is a Negatively charged particle's?
Negatively charged particles in an atom are known as electrons.
Are electrons repelled by the nucleus?
