An atom is neither positive nor negative. If the hydrogen's atom is stripped of it's one electron, then it would be positively charged.

There is no such thing as a +ve or -ve atom. All atoms are electrically neutral. When they lose or gain electrons they form charged ions.

the atom is neither positive or negative. The ion can bo both positive and negative. Typically, you see H+ when its ionized.
