Which particle has a negative charge the electron or the neutron?

Electrons are negatively charged, and so are some ions. It depends what ion you are talking about. All atoms start off neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons. When they become ions, they gain charge. For instance, a sodium chloride ion (NaCl) the metal ion, sodium, becomes positively charged because it loses one negatively charged particle (an electron). Chlorine then becomes negative, because it has gained a negatively charged electron.
Hope this helps :)

Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
How does an electron differ from a neutron?
An electron has a negative charge to it, whilst a neutron has a neutral charge to it.
Is a neutron a particle that carries a negative charge?
No, a neutron is neutrally charged. A proton is positively charged. And an electron is negatively charged.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
What is an atomic particle that has no charge is called?
Neutron
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
What subatomic particle are charged?
These particles are: neutron (positive) and electron (negative).
Is a particle with no charge?
A Neutron is a particle that holds no charge. A Proton holds a positive charge, and an electron holds a negative charge.
What is the particle in an atoms nucleus that has no charge?
The Neutron has no charge. The proton is positive and the electron is negative.
What is the charge on each subatomic particle?
For the atom: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
What kind of electrical charge do electrons have?
Neutron is a neutral particle. Proton has one positive charge. Electron has one negative charge.
What is the uncharged subatomic particle?
Neutrons are neutral, thus, have no charge. A proton is positively charged whilst an electron is negatively charged.
What is the electric charge of each particle in an atom?
Proton: positive Electron: negative Neutron: neutral
What is the electrical charge of each particle in the atom?
Proton: positive Electron: negative Neutron: neutral
What is the negatively charged particle found in an atom?
An electron is a negatively charged particle that whizzes around the nucleus of an atom.
An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?
No. That would be called an ion.
What subatomic particle has an electric charge?
electron-negative, proton-positive, neutron-neutral
