Why do electron clouds repel?
Yes, electron clouds have a negative charge. The electrons make up electron clouds (naturally) and the electron carries a negative electrostatic charge. Since electrons carry a negative electrostatic charge, and, by a fundamental principle of electrostatics like charges repel each other, the electrons don't like each other. That's one of the guiding principles behind electron spin and the structure of electron orbitals in chemistry and biochemistry. The big fat positive charge on the nucleus captures the electrons, but the electrons have to decide amongst themselves how they're gonna get along out in the electron shells. And they do. Is it any wonder that electron shell structures rule most of chemistry?
What forces binds protons and electrons to form atoms?
Two oppositely charged particles (electron: - charge, proton: + charge) create an attractive electrostatic force described by Coulomb's Law. More info of the physics behind it at the related link.
What part of the atom has a negative charge is the?
Electron Carries A Negative Charge.
Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
Is electrostatic force charge independent of mass?
No, greater mass equates to greater surface area and therefore greater electron-charge storage potential.
What type of charge does an electron carry?
Negative charge
What holds ionic bonds?
an ionic bond occurs when one atom gives an electron to another so that both atoms have full outer shells. these electrons have a negative magnetic charge to counter the positive charge that protons have in the nucleus of the atom (the center). when one atom gains an electron, the atom gains a negative charge and when another atom looses an electron it gains a positive charge. these particles are no longer referred to as atoms, they are now called ions. this creates a magnetic pull between the two ions, thus creating a molecule with an ionic charge.
Does nylon have an electrostatic charge?
when your clothes rub against your skin an electrostatic charge is made.
What is electrostatic charges?
Charge can also be present on insulators and because these materials do not allow the charge to flow, this is called electrostatic charge
What type of particle in an atom has a negative charge?
the electron

What is a charge on a rubber rod?
an electrostatic negative charge
What type of charge does an ion have when an atom gains an electron?
Negative.

What type of charg do protons carry?
Protons carry a positive charge (equivalent to 1.602176565(35)×10−19 coulombs).
What type of charge does an atom have when it gaines an electron?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. A neutrally charged atom which gains an electron will gain a negative charge.
