What are the negative and positive parts of an atom?
Negative: The negative part of an atom is the electrons which have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. Positive: The positive part of an atom is the nucleus which contains protons with a positive charge.
If an atom gains an electron it is known as this and has a negative charge?
if an atom gains an eletron it is more negative and ic called a anion
A particle in a atom that has a negative charge is a?
Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.
What particles in an atom have negative electric charges?
Electrons have negative electric charges in an atom.
Charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom is determined by the balance of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge while electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion with a net positive or negative charge.
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.
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
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.
What has a negative charge and can move from atom to atom?
electrons
Where are the electrons of an atom called?
they are the negative particles in an atom
