What is the name of a negatively charged ion?

Answer 1

Anions

Answer 2

An anion.

Answer 3

an ion is basically a charged atom or group of atoms

An ion is any atom that has a positive or a negative charge. A positively charged ion will seek a negatively charged one to unite with, have a glorious 'coupling' and then turn into something totally new and available.

So why do we rave on so much about negative ions? Because the result of every move you move (a net spending of energy) is a positively charged body. The molecules in your body are left holding a positive charge. They are unavailable for future 'couplings' unless we get a new batch of attractive and giving negative ions in quickly.

As we hear so often these days, things ain't what they used to be. The air is different. Putting it very frankly and unscientifically, it's full of crud. Positively charged crud. Nothing ever 'goes away' on our little green planet and every exhaust, every chimney plume, every cowfart, stays within our thin and fragile ionosphere. It stays in the air we gulp as we run along the beach, it stays in the water we drink, and it stays in the food we eat. And all of it this pollution is useless for energy production within the body.

Answer 4

If an atom gains an electron (or electrons) in its outer shell, it has net negative charge, and becomes a negative ion.

A negative ion is called an anion. (A positive ion is a cation.)

Answer 5

If an atom takes one or more electrons as a result negative ion is formed. The reason is that an electron is negatively charged and normally an atom is neutral. if it takes electrons then negative ion is formed which is more likely to give that electron.

Answer 6

An example of a negatively charged ion is an anion. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons, resulting in an overall negative charge.

Answer 7

A negatively charged atom is called an anion, which is an atom that has more electrons than protons.

Answer 8

a ANION is a negatively charged ion.

Answer 9

It's either a cation or an anion. Try Googling them both to see which is right.

Answer 10

an atom with one or more extra electron(s) in its valence band. There are also molecular ions but they are more complicated to explain than simple atomic ions.
