Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles.
A positively charged part of an atom is called a proton. It is located in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons and is balanced by negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
It is the nucleus of an atom that is positively charged. You'll recall that an atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons (hydrogen-1 excepted). And the protons and neutrons hang out in the nucleus, giving it an overall positive charge because the proton has a positive change.
Electrons are in the cloud of negatively charged particles that surrounds an atom.
It is the negatively charged part of an atom.
Electron.
No. An electron is negatively charged but it is not an atom. It is a subatomic particle and the negatively charged component of an atom.
A positively charged part of an atom is called a proton. It is located in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons and is balanced by negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus.
When an atom gains an electron the no of negatively charged particles increases inside the atom and the atom gets negatively charged.
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
Not quite. You can have an atom of an element, for example an atom of Hydrogen, but not a Hydrogen of an atom. The parts of an atom are protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negatively charged).

An atom becomes negatively charged when it receives an electron from another atom. In other words, if there are more electrons than protons in an atom, it becomes negatively charged.
All electrons are the same. A negatively charged atom would be an anion.
