A negative charge is the opposite of an ion. An Ion with a negative charge becomes an Anion. Normally with a negative charge they are called Electrons. See electrons for more help

An object that has an excess of electrons is negatively charged. Electrons are negatively charged particles that create an overall negative charge on an object. Objects with a negative charge will be attracted to objects with a positive charge.
An electron is negatively charged.
Water can become negatively charged when it gains extra electrons, which are negatively charged particles. This can happen through processes like ionization or interaction with other charged particles.
If you touch the knob of a positively charged electroscope with a negatively charged object, the excess electrons from the negatively charged object will flow to the electroscope, neutralizing the positive charge. The electroscope will become neutral or slightly negatively charged as a result.
An electron is a negatively charged particle. It orbits the nucleus of an atom and is responsible for generating electricity and creating chemical reactions.
Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.
