∙ 14y agoAn atom would have a negative electric charge because an extra electron was added to it. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an extra one is added, the overall charge of the atom is negative. I hope that helps!

∙ 11y agoAtoms are considered to be neutral with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. If an atom takes on extra electron(s) it becomes negativelly charged and is termed an ion or more specifically an anion to distinguishi it from positively charged ions.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoA neutral atom has no charge, but does contain an equal number of positively charged protons in the nucleus to negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. This is the fundamental structure of an atom.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoElectrons have negative charge ,so it must consist of a number of electrons greater then the number of protons
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoAn atom develops a negative charge by having an imbalance in the proton and electron ratio. More electrons equals a higher negative charge.

Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
Which part of an atom carries a negative charge?

Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Is an atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
No. Electrons have a negative charge and so removing one from the atom will give it a positive charge.
Subatomic particle that has a negative charge?
In an atom the electron has a negative charge.
