I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.

An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.

Electron current flow theory considers electricity to be the flow of charge carries which are what in polarity?

When we consider electron flow, we think of moving electrons. The electron has a negative charge. This model of current flow, the electron current flow model, follows the movement of those negative charges.As a contrast, we might consider what is called conventional current flow. And that the model of current involves the movement of charges with a positive polarity.


What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?

positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron


USing the theory called electron flow concept means that electrons flow from?

The electron flow concept states that electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a voltage source, in contrast to the conventional current flow theory which assumes positive charge carriers moving from positive to negative.


An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?

An atom that carries an electric charge is called an ion, not a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms that have no charge. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.


What is a positively charged partice?

A particle that has a Positive charge is called the "proton" Proton=positive Electron=negative Neutron=neutral


Are atoms positive or negative?

Yes. It has both.The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.


What is the name of the electron donor that carries a positive charge in an ionic bond?

This would be a positively charged ion, called a cation.
