All acids have positive charge.
Both mineral and carboxylic acids ionise to some degree in solution producig hydrogen ions H^(+). , Notice they are plus/positive. It is these ions that are the avid component on a substance.
E.g. Mineral acid H2SO4 = 2H^(+) + SO4^(2-)
e.g. Carboxylic acid CH3COOH = CH3COO^(-) + H^(+)
The pH scale indicates the number of H^(+) ions in a solution. The lower the number , the more H^(+) ions.

3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Their respective charges are?
Positive, negative, neutral
What charge do acids have?
Acids have nether a positive or negative charge, but instead have a pH value.
What do you call matter that has a balance of positive and negative charges?
Neutral charges
Why electrons are attracted to protons?
Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other.

Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
When there is full of negative charges in a jar are there going to be negative charges?
No there are not going to be negative charges there are going to be positive charges!!!!
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
Are nonmetals positive or negative?
Nonmetals have negative charges.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
What are the three charges?
The three charges are: POSITIVE,NEGATIVE, AND NEUTRAL
How do charges flow?
Charges always flow from positive to negative.
What are the two like charges?
a positive and a positive or a negative and a negative. Object with the same charge. Like charges repel each other.
What are different types of charges?
the different types of charges are positive and negative charges
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
