Yes, electron clouds have a negative charge. The electrons make up electron clouds (naturally) and the electron carries a negative electrostatic charge. Since electrons carry a negative electrostatic charge, and, by a fundamental principle of electrostatics like charges repel each other, the electrons don't like each other. That's one of the guiding principles behind electron spin and the structure of electron orbitals in chemistry and biochemistry. The big fat positive charge on the nucleus captures the electrons, but the electrons have to decide amongst themselves how they're gonna get along out in the electron shells. And they do. Is it any wonder that electron shell structures rule most of chemistry?
The rule of zero charge helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because you know that what anion is present, the action that bonds will make the net charge zero.
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
That's a convention. It could be drawn the other way, but it is better to stick to the convention, to avoid confusion.That's a convention.

Salt will dissolve in oil very slightly but not truly. salt is an ionic compound (it has a positive/negative side) and oil is usually covalent (there is no charge). The rule for solubility of compounds is that like dissolves like, so ionic dissolves ionic and covalent dissolves covalent.
A negative ion is formed by the addition of negatively charged electrons. The protons do not change.
sulfur has 16 electrons with a neutral charge the most common ion formed is the sulfide ion, with a negative 2 charge to get a negative 2 charge, it gains 2 electrons, thus fulfilling the octet rule and acquiring the electron configuration of argon
Adding a positive and negative number, the sum will always be negative. Example: 10+-20=-10 If you add two negatives, they cancel each other out making it positive.
Fundamental laws of electric charges: opposite charges (positive and negative) attract, similar charges (positive and positive or negative and negative) repel, somtimes charged objects will attract a neutral object.
It is a rule in math!
The oxygen atoms in the ion do obey the octet rule. The phosphorus atom has more than eight electrons in its valence shell. It is because of the existence of vacant 3d orbitals.
The rule for subtracting negative numbers is 'when you are subtracting a negative number from a positive or negative, you must always add it.'Example: 3--3 = 3+3 = 6
The product is always positive.
The sum of the positive charge must equal to the sum of negative charge Ex. sodium chloride sodium=Na+ chloride=Cl- Formula=NaCl
The rule of thumb for determining the charge of non-metal ions is that if it is in groups 1 through 3 or transitional it has a positive charge, if it is in groups 5 through 7 it will have a negative charge.
Because that is the rule. negative * negative=positve positive *negative=negative and vice versa
They get repelled away from the negative charge(-) because electrons have anegative charge(-).The rule is that same polarities, in this case (-) and (-), repel each other and opposite polarities, (+) and (+), attract each other. (+) and (-) atom bonding is called Ionic bonding because the atoms have to be ions, either cations(+), or anions; to electromagneticallybond.
