All electrons have an equal negative charge (-1 standard electron charge), which is opposite to the standard proton charge (+1).
Electrons carry a negative electrical charge. A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
Electrons charge is a negative
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
Knowing the charge of an atom only provides information on the number of electrons it has gained or lost. Different types of atoms can have the same charge if they have gained or lost electrons in the same proportion. Therefore, the charge alone is not sufficient to determine the type of atom.
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
Electrons have a negative charge.
because they lose electrons
Electrons carry a negative electrical charge. A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
Electrons move around the nucleus of an atom. Electrons have a negative charge.
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
Electrons charge is a negative
No. The "n" and "p" does not refer to the negative or positive charge, but to the fact that there are atoms that can easily "donate" electrons (n-type), or atoms that can easily "accept" electrons (p-type).
"Electrons" can have only one type of charge ... a so-called 'negative' charge. If it has anything else, it's no electron.
