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.


What is the negative charged atom?

Electron is a negative charge in atom


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.


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 bigger a neutral atom or a negative atom?

neutral atom


What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?

The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.


If a hydrogen atom loses its electron does it become a negative?

No, if a hydrogen atom loses its electron, it becomes a positively charged hydrogen ion (H+). This is because the electron carries a negative charge, and when it is removed from the atom, the remaining proton in the nucleus gives the atom a net positive charge.


In an atom the particles with a negative charge are called what?

a particle with a negative charge in an atom is an electron


What is an atom with or a negative charge called?

It's an ion. Cation for positive and anion for a negative atom
