1. Charged with negative electricity: The electronegative situations result in the attraction of positively charged material and the repulsion of negatively charged ones.
2. Having the power to attract electrons: Something is likely to become negatively charged when it is combined with a less electronegative matter.

Nonmetals like glass and wooden objects are considered to be electronegative materials.

Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two-types of electric charge; positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Like charges repel and unlike attract.

An atom that readily accepts electrons and so has a tendency to acquire a partial negative charge in a covalent bond (a chemical bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared between the two nuclei) or to form a negative ion.

A developer containing negatively charged toner particles.

1. An electrode's potential stated as negative in relation to the standard potential of the hydrogen electrode that is established at zero.
2. The difference in an electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts of an electrode or as negative with respect to the hydrogen electrode.
