An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.
If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a Cation

Since electrons carry a negative charge, when a neutral atoms gains an electron, it gets a negative charge. It gets one negative charge for each electron it gains.
NEGATIVE
Your creation of friction with the floor will allow you to "collect" electrons. You'll become negatively charged, and this static charge can discharge to a door knob. Most of us are familiar with the phenomenon. The results can be shocking.
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
It becomes more negatively charged, since electrons carry a negative charge.
Metals lose electrons to become positively charged but stable. The electrons they lose are accepted by the non-metal to become negatively charged but stable.
If you lose electrons from your feet when you cross a rug, you become positively charged.
Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
Atoms become positively charged when they have a deficit of electrons. Similarly, they become negatively charged when they have a surplus of electrons. Neutral charge, the non-ionized state, is when the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
To become negatively charged, an object must gain electrons from another object
Your creation of friction with the floor will allow you to "collect" electrons. You'll become negatively charged, and this static charge can discharge to a door knob. Most of us are familiar with the phenomenon. The results can be shocking.
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
It becomes negatively charged because Wool readily gives away its electrons.
It becomes more negatively charged, since electrons carry a negative charge.
If i remember correctly, and atom is neutraly charged. It becomes positively charged or neagative due to induction, contact, static and something else In an atoms nucleus, there are protons, which are positively charged, neutrons, which don't have a charge, and electrons, which are negatively charged. it depends if the atoms are the same compared to the protons it would be negativley charged and when it is in excess it is positivley charged
Since electrons are negatively charged, a nonmetal which gains an electron will also become negatively charged.
No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.
