Electrons carry a negative electrical charge.
In S.I. units, the electron's charge is -1.602 x 10-19 Coulomb (to four significant figures).

Is negative the charge that attracts electrons?
Electrons are negative. so no positive charges attracts electrons because the opposite charges attract each other like ( + - ) but same charges repel like ( ++ ) or ( - - )
What are negative charges?
electrons
Where are static charges held?
The static charges are held in the electrons
Do protons and electrons accelerate toward each other?
Yes, they do. Protons are negetive charges and Electrons are positive charges.
What charges electricity protons or electrons?
electrons. the elcetric current is due to flow of electrons
In an atom is the charges of the electrons being cancelled by the charges of the protons?
yes
What is the definition of atomic charges?
The difference between the positive charges (protons) and the negative charges (electrons).
How does an atom achieve a positive charge?
by loosing one or more electrons then it is an ion
Why does objects become positively charged if they lose electrons?
Losing electrons the positive charges become bigger than negative charges.
Where do atoms electrons reside in?
cloudsAn atom is made of a core + electrons .The core is made of positive charges held together by neutral charges. The electrons, negative charges, orbit round it.If there is 5 positive charges in the core, 5 electrons would orbit around it. Otherwise it's not called an atom anymore, but a ion.
What contains electrical charges in atom?
Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.
Charges of atoms are changed by the movement of?
Charges are changed by the movement of electrons to or from an atom.
