electric charge
After gaining an electron, it gains a negative charge. Because it now has an extra negative charge, the total/overall charge of the atom is negative.
If an atom gains electrons become an anion; when an atom loses electrons become a cation.
Static charge.
static electricity
It is called an Ion
Ion
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge. Apex ;)
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.

Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
It is a negative charge
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
Positive
Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
the object will have neutral charge
Negative charge!!
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. An ion has an unequal number electrons and protons giving it either a positive or negative charge.
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
