a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
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.
Yes, if they are ions
atoms often gain or lose electrons,which causes them to have a temporary negative or positive charge.
In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen, pulling electron density towards itself and creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.
Atoms with no overall charge are called neutral atoms. They have the same number of protons, which carry a positive charge, and electrons, which carry a negative charge. This balance of positive and negative charges leads to a neutral overall charge for the atom.

That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
