The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
If an atom gains an electron it is known as this and has a negative charge?
if an atom gains an eletron it is more negative and ic called a anion
What are the particles that make up an atom?
Here are some particles that make up an atom: Protons-Positive charge particles Electrons-negative charged particles Neutrons- no charge at all :))
What subatomic particle has an electric charge?
electron-negative, proton-positive, neutron-neutral
What are the negative and positive parts of an atom?
positive: proton negative: electron neutral: neutron
What is the negative charged atom?
Electron is a negative charge in atom
How can an atom have a negative part?
An atom has a negative part (called electrons) because it has a positive part also (called protons), so the electrons make it electrically neutral.
The negative pole is near the what atom?
The negative pole is near the electronegative atom. This is an atom that usually gains electrons with an overall negative charge.
When an atom is negative or positive?
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
What is bigger a neutral atom or a negative atom?
neutral atom
If a hydrogen atom loses its electron does it become a negative?
Since electrons are negatively charged, losing an electron will make the hydrogen atom become a positively charged ion.
What is the negative charge in an atom called?
An atom with negative charge is called an anion.
If an atom that gains one or more electrons will have what charge?
it will have a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral, protons are positive and electrons are negative. an atom will have the same amount of protons and electrons to make the whole thing neutral. adding more electrons if give the atom a negative charge as there isn't enough protons in the atom to counteract the electrons. it do this an atom must already have 5-7 electrons in its outer shell as they are looking to fill there outer shell with 8 electrons. atoms with 1-3 electrons in its outer shell will get rid of them. group 4 doesn't make ions very well as 4 electrons would take too much energy to lose or gain, however there are exceptions. group 8 or 0 doesn't make ions either as they already have filled there outer shell and are stable.
What is an atom with or a negative charge called?
It's an ion. Cation for positive and anion for a negative atom
In an atom the particles with a negative charge are called what?
a particle with a negative charge in an atom is an electron
How do you make negative ion?
You talk down to and degrade the positive ions until they turn negative.
What has a negative charge and can move from atom to atom?
electrons
