text: Charges that are positive are called cations.
text: Charges that are negative are called anions.
text: Negative ions, or anions, are particles with one or more extra electrons, conferring a net negative charge to the particle.
text: Since the charge of the electron (considered negative by convention) is equal and opposite to that of the proton (considered positive by convention), the net charge of an ion is non-zero due to its total number of electrons being unequal to its total number of protons.
text: Since the charge of the electron (considered negative by convention) is equal and opposite to that of the proton (considered positive by convention), the net charge of an ion is non-zero due to its total number of electrons being unequal to its total number of protons.
text: If the charge was positive, an electron would be lost and taken away.
text: Charge is positive or negative, so you have to write the sign as well as the number.
text: If the converse is true, the ion has a positive charge.
text: Because there are more electrons than protons, this ion will have a positive charge.
text: Always remember to specify if a charge is positive or negative.
text: Charge is positive or negative, so you have to write the sign as well as the number.
text: If the ion has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
text: Always remember to specify if a charge is positive or negative.
text: If there are more electrons than protons, the charge will be negative - by the amount that the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.
