    The atom will have a negative charge.

    Explanation:

    Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, protons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. When a neutral atom's balance is disrupted by an extra electron, the atom becomes negatively charged.
