What is an ion with a negative charge?

Answer 1

They are called electrons!!!

Answer 2

An ion with a negative charge is known as an 'ANION'.

Examples are ;- Cl^(-) , O^(2-) , N^(3-)

NB An ion with a positive charge is a 'CATION'.

Examples are ;- K^(+) , Mg^(2+) , Al^(3+).

Collectively, anions and cations are known as 'ions'.

NNB When an atom loses or gains electrons, to become a charged species, it is no longer an atom, but an ION.

Answer 3

Most non metals with the exception of hydrogen which can have a positive charge as well.

All the halogens for example have a negative charge, sulfer, oxygen and nitrogen have a negative charge.

There are more ofcourse.

Answer 4

There is no 'atom' which is negatively charged. You may be referring to negatively charged particles, such as electrons. However, the other is 'ions', which can be negative or positive depending on gain or loss of electrons.

Answer 5

An anion is an atom with a negative charge.

Answer 6

There are tons, and they're called anions.

If you want one as an example, try nitrate. It's super common in chemistry labs and has the chemical formula (NO3)-

Answer 7

An ion with a negative charge is called an anion. It has gained one or more electrons, giving it an overall negative charge. Common examples include chloride (Cl-) and nitrate (NO3-).
