DNA is negatively charged because it contains phosphate groups in its structure, which carry a negative charge. This charge is important for gel electrophoresis because the DNA molecules will move towards the positive electrode in the gel due to their negative charge, allowing them to be separated by size.
They are ALWAYS negatively charged. If positively charged it would be a positron and not an electron.
Protons - positively charged Electrons - negatively charged Neutrons - No charge
Neutrons do not have an electrical charge, so they are considered electrically neutral. They have a neutral charge because they contain equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
A negative electrical charge occurs when you have more electrons than protons (electrons are negatively charged, and if you have more -'s than +'s the overall charge will be negative).
electronThe electron is a negatively charged particle.
Negatively charge
In electrophoresis, positively charged molecules are known as cations. These include positively charged ions like sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), and certain amino acids or proteins that have an overall positive charge at a given pH. During the electrophoresis process, cations migrate toward the negatively charged electrode (cathode) due to the electric field applied.
Negatively charged
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
Electrons are negatively charged.
Molecules migrate to different electrodes depending on the charge they carry. Positively charged dyes migrate toward the anode (the negative electrode) and negatively charged dyes migrate toward the cathode (the positive electrode)
They are ALWAYS negatively charged. If positively charged it would be a positron and not an electron.

No, they are negatively charged.
Electrons are negatively charged.
No, its negatively charged.
Neutrons do not have an electrical charge, so they are considered electrically neutral. They have a neutral charge because they contain equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
