The electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electrical charge.

(The proton carries a positive charge, and the neutron carries no charge.)
In the atom the electron is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles?

Electrons are the negatively charged particles in atoms. This is not an entertainment and arts question.


How many atoms are in atoms?

One! An atom is not made up of other atoms, but has a nucleus of a positively-charged proton and a neutrally-charged neutron. It is surrounded by a network of positively-charged particles called electrons. (sorry, NEGATIVELY charged particles called electrons!)


What is negatively charged particles of atoms with almost no mass called?

Negatively charged particles with almost no mass are called electrons. These subatomic particles orbit around the nucleus of an atom and are responsible for carrying electrical current and facilitating chemical reactions.

What carries the current through a liquid?

In a liquid, the current is carried by the movement of charged particles called ions or electrons. Ions can be positively or negatively charged atoms or molecules, while electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles. The flow of these charged particles creates an electric current in the liquid.


What is composed of charged particles?

Many things are composed of charged particles, including atoms (which consist of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons), ions (atoms with a net positive or negative charge), and plasma (a state of matter in which electrons are stripped from atoms, creating a mix of charged particles).


Are atoms normally negatively charged?

No - atoms are always neutral. The number of protons is balanced by a equal number of electrons. Ions, on the other hand, may be positively or negatively charged, depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.


What is a stream of charged protons and electrons called?

A stream of charged particles is called an electrical current.


Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?

Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons are called ions. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).


What are positively charged particles in an atom called?

Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons. They are located in the nucleus of the atom and their positive charge balances the negative charge of electrons to keep the atom electrically neutral.


What is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charged called?

Such charged particles are known as ions. A positively charged ion is called a cation; a negatively charged particle is called an anion.Ions: cation (positive charge) and anion (negative charge)
