Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
When an atom gains or loses charge it is called an ion.
Ion.
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
If it has a positive charge it is a Cation. If it has a negative charge it is an Anion.
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
electron-negative, proton-positive, neutron-neutral
A proton has a positive charge and an electron has a negative charge.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
It's an ion. Cation for positive and anion for a negative atom
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Proton, Electron, and Neutron +- = ----- So basically, Negative Charge-Electon Positive Charge- Proton Neutral Charge- Neutron
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
