How does a material acquire a positive electrical charge?
By losing electrons.
Is the net charge of an atom always zero?
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
Is one property of an electron a net charge of 0?
No an electron does not have a net charge of 0, in fact it has a net charge of -1.
The net charge of an object is its?
Over all Charge
What is the net charge of the dipeptide glu-lys at physiological pH?
Lys is basic and has a + charge, glu is acidic and - charged = net charge 0
How does a material acquire a positive electrical charge?
By losing electrons.
Why it is called current a net charge?
because it flows on the direction where the net charge flows. :D
What is the net charge on the charged capacitor?
there is no net charge on the capacitor because nomber of positive and negative charge and negetive are equal.
What does conservation of change mean?
Conservation of charge means that a net electric charge is not created or destroyed. This type of charge is instead transferred from one specific material to another.
Is the net charge of an atom always zero?
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
What is the net charge for any compound?
Net charge is zero in order for the anion to be balanced
Is p-type material positively charged?
The net charge on n-type and p-type meterials is zero because the r formed by the combination of diferent chemists...
How do you find net charge?
The net charge is the total amount of charge that the ion will have. So you will find out the charge of each group and add them all together for the net charge.
What net charge does a sodium atom have?
A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.
Is one property of an electron a net charge of 0?
No an electron does not have a net charge of 0, in fact it has a net charge of -1.
Do neutrons have a positive or o charge?
NEUtrons were given that name because they are NEUtral ...they have no charge, at least not a net one.
What is the charge the nucleus?
The net charge of the nucleus is positive because the electrons (e-) are not in the nucleus there are around it in the outer shells.
