For example the ion phosphate - (PO4)3-.
A charge which is not a positive charge is a negative charge.
There are three type of charges +ve ,-ve and neutral.
This particle is the electron.
The metal will have a net charge of -3 because gaining 5 negative charges adds -5, and losing 8 negative charges adds +8, resulting in a total of -3 negative charges.
The electron has a negative electrical charge.
The net charge will be negative, since electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. When 5 electrons (-5) combine with 3 protons (+3), the net charge will be -2.
Phosphorus in its elemental form does not have a negative charge. However, in chemical compounds, phosphorus can form ions with a negative charge, such as phosphate ions (PO4^3-).
The overall charge of an atom with 3 extra electrons would be -3. Each electron has a negative charge of -1, so 3 extra electrons would result in an overall negative charge.
Yes, phosphate contributes a negative charge in biological systems because it has a total charge of -3 due to its three oxygen atoms each carrying a negative charge. This negative charge is important for the structure and function of molecules like nucleic acids and ATP in cells.
Electrons charge is a negative
A charge which is not a positive charge is a negative charge.

-3
It is a positive ion. Its' charge is 3+.
This particle is the electron.
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
The metal will have a net charge of -3 because gaining 5 negative charges adds -5, and losing 8 negative charges adds +8, resulting in a total of -3 negative charges.
