Having more electrons than protons.
having a surplus of electrons; having a lower electric potential
A negative charge is indicated by the negative sign (–) and is caused when an object gains electrons. Polythene can become negatively charged when it is rubbed. Static Electricity
The electrical potential of an atom which gains one or more electrons, therefore leaving it with more electrons than protons.
1. A minus electrical charge. 2. An electrical charge equal to that of an electron.
The electrical charge of a body that has an excess of electrons.
