Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?

No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.


What are positively and negativity charged ions?

Positively charged ions, or cations, are atoms that have lost electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negatively charged ions, or anions, are atoms that have gained electrons, leading to a net negative charge. These charged ions are formed through the process of ionization.
