It means that the atom has more or less electrons than protons, making it either positive (less electrons than proton), or negative (more electrons than protons).
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
it means that the atom has an electrical charge running through it
not positive but jj thomson
In an atom, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. If the number of protons and electrons are equal, those atoms are said to be neutral. If they are not equal, it has formed an ion with the net charge.
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
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!
It is called ion.Positively charged atom:- CationNegatively charged atom:- Anion
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
A negatively charged atom is called an anion, which is an atom that has more electrons than protons.
It depends on the atom. An atom is made of 3 subatomic particles- a negatively charged electron, a positively charged proton, and a neutral neutron. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are different, then the atom has a net charge. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are the same, then the atom is said to be neutrally charged. Changing the number of neutrons affects the mass and therefore important traits of each atom, but does not affect its charge. Atoms that have a net charge are called 'ions.'
An ion is a word for an electrically charged atom. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions) depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
