No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.

A compound composed of charged particles is called an ionic compound. An atom that has become electrically charged is called an ion.
Atoms become negatively charged when they gain an electron.

Ionised particles are particles that carry a positive or negative charge. This is due to the loss or gain of an electron or electrons. Losing an electron will cause a particle to become more positively charged, while gaining an electron will cause a particle to become more negatively charged.
particles become charged when they either gain or lose electrons.
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
To become negatively charged, an object must gain electrons from another object
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
It becomes negatively charged because Wool readily gives away its electrons.

Since electrons are negatively charged, a nonmetal which gains an electron will also become negatively charged.
