In [[physics]], a '''charged particle''' is a [[human part]] with an [[electric charge]]. It may be an [[ion]], such as a [[molecule]] or [[atom]] with a surplus or deficit of [[electron]]s relative to [[proton]]s. It can be the electrons and protons themselves, as well as other [[elementary particle]]s, like [[positron]]s. It may also be an [[atomic nucleus]] devoid of electrons, such as an [[alpha particle]], a [[helium]] nucleus. [[Neutron]]s have no charge. A [[Plasma (physics)|plasma]] is a collection of charged particles, atomic nuclei and separated electrons, but can also be a gas containing a significant proportion of charged particles. Plasma is called the [[fourth state of matter]] because its properties are quite different from [[solid]]s, [[liquid]]s and [[gas]]es.

In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. It may be an ion, such as a molecule or atom with a surplus or deficit of electrons relative to protons. It can be the electrons and protons themselves, as well as other elementary particles, like positrons. It may also be an atomic nucleus devoid of electrons, such as an alpha particle, a helium nucleus. Neutrons have no charge. A plasma is a collection of charged particles, atomic nuclei and separated electrons, but can also be a gas containing a significant proportion of charged particles. Plasma is called the fourth state of matter because its properties are quite different from solids, liquids and gases.

Examples

Positively charged particles

Negatively charged particles

Particles without an electric charge
