electric charge
The object becomes negatively charged when it gains electrons because electrons are negatively charged particles.
After gaining an electron, it gains a negative charge. Because it now has an extra negative charge, the total/overall charge of the atom is negative.
If an atom gains electrons become an anion; when an atom loses electrons become a cation.
Static charge.

It is called an Ion
Ion
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
A charged object has multiples of the fundamental charge because the charge of an object is determined by the number of excess or deficient electrons it has gained or lost. Each electron carries a charge equal to the fundamental charge, so the total charge of the object will be a multiple of this value.
No, a negatively charged object has the same number of electrons as a neutral object. The negative charge is due to an excess of electrons on the object, meaning it has gained extra electrons to become negatively charged.
The quantity of excess electric charge found on an object is typically measured in coulombs, which represents the total charge of electrons on the object. This excess charge can be positive or negative based on whether the object has gained or lost electrons. The SI unit for charge is the coulomb (C).
An imbalance of electric charge on an object occurs when it has either gained or lost electrons, leading to a net positive or negative charge. This can happen through processes like friction, induction, or conduction, which can result in the object attracting or repelling other charged objects.
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
It is a negative charge
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
Positive
Nitrogen typically gains 3 electrons to achieve a full outer shell, resulting in a charge of -3.
the object will have neutral charge
When an object has a positive charge, it means that it has an excess of protons compared to electrons. This causes the object to have a net positive charge, making it attractive to objects with a negative charge and repelling other positively charged objects.
Negative charge!!
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. An ion has an unequal number electrons and protons giving it either a positive or negative charge.
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
