Positive charge: cation
Negative charge: anion
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The charge of an atom overall is neutral, as the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) in a neutral atom.
Negative: The negative part of an atom is the electrons which have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. Positive: The positive part of an atom is the nucleus which contains protons with a positive charge.
Positive
electrons = negative charge protons = positive charge neutrons = neutral charge
no. electrons have negative charge. protons have positive charge
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
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.
An Ion.
No, an electron has a negative charge.
