This is an anion (negative ion).
Electrons move around the nucleus of an atom. Electrons have a negative charge.
A charage atom called : ion proton positive charge location of proton and electron electron negative charge (Proton) in the neutron (Electron) orbiting the nucleus if it's (+) means proton (POSTIVE) if it's (x) means electron (NEGTIVE)
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.

An anion is an atom with negative electrical charge.
Atom itself has no charge. This happens because he has 3 subatomic particles in it, two of which have negative and positive charge, respectively. Protons are the ones who have positive charge and electrons have negative charge. And Nenutrons have no charge at all. :)
The overall charge on an atom will depend on the ratio of protons to electrons in that atom. If the numbers match, the overall charge will be zero. It's a neutral atom. But if electrons have been "captured" or "loaned out" by the atom, an ion is created, and its charge will be negative if it has captured electrons, or positive if it has loaned out electrons. Charge will vary by integer amounts, i.e., the charge will be -1, -2, -3, etc. for the capture of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively, or +1, +2, +3, etc. for the loaning out of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively. Simple and easy.
Electrons are negatively charged particles. A neutrally charged atom which gains an electron will gain a negative charge.

An electron.
A charage atom called : ion proton positive charge location of proton and electron electron negative charge (Proton) in the neutron (Electron) orbiting the nucleus if it's (+) means proton (POSTIVE) if it's (x) means electron (NEGTIVE)
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
