Electrons have an electrical negative charge.
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
by having a negative sign
The hydroxide ion, OH-, has a negative charge of 1-.
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
Atoms with no overall charge are called neutral atoms. They have the same number of protons, which carry a positive charge, and electrons, which carry a negative charge. This balance of positive and negative charges leads to a neutral overall charge for the atom.
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
An atom or group of atoms with a negative charge is called an anion. Anions have gained one or more electrons, leading to an overall negative charge.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
Yes, if they are ions
