In Science, a electron in an atom is always negative. The more electrons you have, the more negative a atom is. The more protons (Positives) you have, the more positive a atom is. To balance an atom out, have the same amount of Electrons and Protons.

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
