Explicación

## Step 1A negative ion, also known as an anion, is an atom or molecule that has gained one or more electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge, so when an atom gains electrons, it has more electrons than protons.## Step 2Protons carry a positive charge, and the number of protons in an atom defines the atomic number of an element. The number of protons in an atom does not change when it forms an ion.## Step 3Therefore, a negative ion has more electrons than protons, which gives it a net negative charge.
