I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.
An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.

What is the particle of an atom that carries a negative charge called?
The electron.
What carries a negative charge and circulates around the nucleus?
Negatively charged particles in an atom that move around the nucleus are called electrons.
Electron current flow theory considers electricity to be the flow of charge carries which are what in polarity?
When we consider electron flow, we think of moving electrons. The electron has a negative charge. This model of current flow, the electron current flow model, follows the movement of those negative charges.As a contrast, we might consider what is called conventional current flow. And that the model of current involves the movement of charges with a positive polarity.
What is the negative positive and neutral charge in an atom called?
Proton, Electron, and Neutron +- = ----- So basically, Negative Charge-Electon Positive Charge- Proton Neutral Charge- Neutron
What is the same about protons and electrons?
No, they are completely different. A proton is much larger than and electron and carries a positive charge. Protons can be divided into smaller particles called quarks. An electron is tiny compared to a proton and carries a negative charge. Electrons are fundamental particles, meaning they cannot be divided into smaller particles.
What is the charge on a electron called?
the charge of a proton is called positive charge neutron- negative charge electron- no charge
What is the particle of an atom that carries a negative charge called?
The electron.
An atom with two protons and one electron carries a positive charge it is called a positive charged?
Positively charged ion.
What are the parts in an atom called?
neutron, proton, electron, and the main in both positive and negative charge is the nucleus which is nor positive nor negative
What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
What are negatively charged particles in atoms called?
.The electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electrical charge.(The proton carries a positive charge, and the neutron carries no charge.)In the atom the electron is negatively charged.
What carries a negative charge and circulates around the nucleus?
Negatively charged particles in an atom that move around the nucleus are called electrons.
What the difference between positive and negative electrons?
an electron always has a negative chargea positron is identical in all respects to an electron (sometimes it is called a "positive electron"), except it always has a positive charge and is antimatter (not matter)If an electron and a positron meet they will both cease to exist (annihilation) and gamma ray photons will be created.
USing the theory called electron flow concept means that electrons flow from?
Negative to positive
Are atoms positive or negative?
Yes. It has both.The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.
What is a positively charged partice?
A particle that has a Positive charge is called the "proton" Proton=positive Electron=negative Neutron=neutral
Electron current flow theory considers electricity to be the flow of charge carries which are what in polarity?
