An atom becomes negatively charged when it receives an electron from another atom. In other words, if there are more electrons than protons in an atom, it becomes negatively charged.
neutron
No. The negatively charged particles of an atom are called electrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge.
the electrons that surround the nucleus is the negative charge in a atom
The electrons in an atom are negatively charged, the protons in an atom are positively charged and the neutrons of an atom are neutrally charged (they have no charge).Hope this Helps!
Electrons
An atom becomes negatively charged when it receives an electron from another atom. In other words, if there are more electrons than protons in an atom, it becomes negatively charged.
since electrons are negative, you would subtract one from the original charge of the atom. For example, is the atom was neutral, the charge would then be 1-
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.
In the atom electron is negatively charged.
nucleus has positive charge
No.... an atom is not an ion.... ions have a positive or negative charge... Atoms are neutral
Gaining an electron that has a negative charge would negatively charge the atom.
