What is Charged particle?
A '''charged [[particle]]''', also called an [[ion]], is an [[atom]] with a [[positive charge|positive]] or [[negative charge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thefreedictionary.com/charged+particle|title=charged particle|website=TheFreeDictionary.com}}</ref> This happens whenever something called an [[ionic bond]] forms. Two [[particles]] that have different numbers of [[electron]]s (the smallest particle in an atom which is negative) start reacting to each other. The particle that has the greater amount of [[electrons]] steals the other particle's electrons. One becomes positive because it lost an electron, and the other negative because it got another electron. The two particles become attracted to each other and mix together, making a new kind of particle. ==References== {{reflist}} {{physics-stub}} [[Category:Electromagnetism]] [[Category:Physics]]
