An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
The Electrons and the Protons.
If an atom has an even number of protons and electrons, it has no charge, so it is neutral. If it has an uneven number of protons or electrons and has a positive or negative charge depending on which has more. It is then called radioactive.
The proton is the particle that has a positive charge. The neutron is the particle that has a neutral charge. both of these reside in the nucleus of an atom.
Protons have the greatest charge wich is positive.Electrons have the worst charge wich is negative.Nuetrons have a positive and a negative charge wich is called neutral. these are the respictive charges of an atom
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
Having a charge it is called an ION. No charge means: same number of protons and electrons.
A particle with a negative electrical charge is called an electron.
It is called an ion.
An atom does not have an electrical charge. Atoms have equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If there are not equal numbers of protons (+1) and electrons (-1) then it is not called an atom, it is called an ion.
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
The negative charge in an atom is called an electron. Electrons are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom and are responsible for carrying electrical current and forming chemical bonds.
Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.
This is called an ion.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
A fluorine atom has a negative electrical charge of -1 due to its 9 protons and 10 electrons.
