in chemistry a negative charge is also called an anion
a positive charge is a cation!!
An electron has a negative charge. Also an ion in which there are more electrons than protons has a negative charge. Such an ion is called as anion.
The OH is known as a hydroxyl group, it is also known as the hydroxide ion if it carries a negative charge, and on a hydrocarbon chain or similar would be known as an alcohol group.
Negative.-1 elemental charge = -1.6x10^-19 C
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.

The OH is known as a hydroxyl group, it is also known as the hydroxide ion if it carries a negative charge, and on a hydrocarbon chain or similar would be known as an alcohol group.
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
Benjamin Franklin was the man that defined negative and positive charge. In the nineteenth century, positive and negative charge was known as vitreous and resinous charge, respectively.Franklin defined negative charge as the charge of a piece of amber after being rubbed against glass.
Neutral
Negative.-1 elemental charge = -1.6x10^-19 C
In most compounds, the nitrogen in NH2 has a partial negative charge while the hydrogen each carry a partial positive charge. It can also exist as the Amide ion with a full negative charge.
A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
