What is another word for negative charge?
Pronunciation: [nˈɛɡətˌɪv t͡ʃˈɑːd͡ʒ] (IPA) 
Negative charge refers to the deficiency of electrons in an atom, molecule or ion. Some synonyms for negative charge include anionic, electronegative, negatively charged, and cathodic. Anionic is a term used to describe atoms or molecules that possess a negative charge due to the presence of excess electrons. Electronegative means an atom or molecule has a high affinity for electrons and can easily attract them, resulting in a negative charge. Negatively charged is the simplest way to describe that a particle has a deficiency of electrons. Cathodic is another term used to describe negative charge and is often associated with the electrode that receives electrons during an electrochemical reaction.
