* electrons are -ve charged so we added to its -ve answer, not the protons.

Ya TUSHAR is correct.

Thanks all for good discussion.

Ya Tushar is correct. When electrons are removed it becomes +vely charged if the electrons are added it becomes -vely charged.

Tushar said:   1 decade ago
No he is partially correct.

Non neutral charge are:.

1. Electrons.

2. Protons.

But only electrons can be removed not the protons.

Hence it becomes +vely charged.

@mallikarjun.

You are absolutely correct.

@ yoga. You are completely wrong.

Nucleus of atom contains only protons (+ve) and neutrons (neutral) and electrons which revolve around nucleus (-ve).

Whenever a non neutral charge is removed it is positively or negatively charged accordingly when either proton or electrons are removed.

Thus its a charged ion.

Removal of proton or electron makes atom in to negative or positive ion respectively.

Ashu said:   1 decade ago
Non neutral means it is not a proton, but it can be an electron or a proton. An atom can't lose or gain a proton but it can gain or lose an electron. For example if hydrogen element loses an electron a hydride ion is formed whereas if it gains an electron to complete its duplet hydrogen ion is formed. Therefore in both the cases a charged ion is formed may be positive or negative.
