A good example of a negative ion is Chlorine minus (Cl-) which forms an ionic bond with Sodium plus (Na+), creating common table salt. Na+ + Cl- = NaCl

What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
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 ."
What are the charged particles formed called?
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
An atom with an unbalanced electrical charge is called?
ion That statement isn't true. An ion is an atom with an uneven amount of protons and electrons.
Which species has a negative charge?
An electron or an aluminum ion carry a negative charge.
What is an ion with more electrons than protons?
When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged. The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (protons).
What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
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 ."
What a negative charge?
A negative charge is the opposite of an ion. An Ion with a negative charge becomes an Anion. Normally with a negative charge they are called Electrons. See electrons for more help
Can ions have positive and negative charge?
An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
What charge is a negative?
A charge which is not a positive charge is a negative charge.
An atom is called an ion if there?
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
What particles will have a negative charge?
An electron has a negative charge. Also an ion in which there are more electrons than protons has a negative charge. Such an ion is called as anion.
What are the charged particles formed called?
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
A positively charged electron is called?
An ion with a positive charge is called a cation. Conversely, an ion with a negative charge is called an anion.
What ions that carry a positive charge called?
An ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and has a superscript + sign to the right of it An ion with a negative charge is called an anion, and has a superscript - sign to the right of it
What is an atom with a positive charge or negative charge called?
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
What is it called when atom has a positive or negative charge?
Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
An atom with an unbalanced electrical charge is called?
ion That statement isn't true. An ion is an atom with an uneven amount of protons and electrons.
