Detailed explanation-1: -Objects with more electrons than protons are charged negatively; objects with fewer electrons than protons are charged positively.
Detailed explanation-2: -An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more electrons, and carries a net electric charge. If the result is an atom with more electrons than protons, the ion is negatively charged. If there are fewer electrons than protons the ion is positively charged.
Detailed explanation-3: -A negatively charged object has an excess of electrons on its surface.
Detailed explanation-4: -An anion is an ion with negative charge, meaning it has more electrons than protons. Anions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons: the gain of the negatively-charged electron(s) results in an overall negative charge.
Detailed explanation-5: -If it has a net charge, (more or less electrons than protons) it is an ion. If it has more electrons than protons it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion. If it has fewer electrons than protons it has a net positive charge and is known as a cation.
