Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An object becomes negatively charged by ____
A
gaining negative charges.
B
losing negative charges.
C
gaining positive charges.
D
losing positive charged.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the formation of an ionic compound, the transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom takes place so that both atoms can achieve the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gases. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion or electronegative ion.

Detailed explanation-3: -A negative ion (anion) has a negative charge, meaning it has gained electrons. An object that has unequal numbers of electrons and protons is electrically charged. If it has more electrons than protons the object is negativity charged.
