Electrons are negatively charged, and so are some ions. It depends what ion you are talking about. All atoms start off neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons. When they become ions, they gain charge. For instance, a sodium chloride ion (NaCl) the metal ion, sodium, becomes positively charged because it loses one negatively charged particle (an electron). Chlorine then becomes negative, because it has gained a negatively charged electron.
Hope this helps :)
What else can I help you with?
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
How does an electron differ from a neutron?
An electron has a negative charge to it, whilst a neutron has a neutral charge to it.
What is an atomic particle that has no charge is called?

Neutron is a neutral particle. Proton has one positive charge. Electron has one negative charge.
What is the subatomic particle with a negative charge?
The subatomic particle with a negative charge is the electron.
