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.
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.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Positive
It will be positive.
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.
It's an ion. Cation for positive and anion for a negative atom
An Ion.
neither, its neutral
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
