yes
The idea that atoms had positive and negative parts was first proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century through his "plum pudding" model of the atom. Thomson suggested that atoms were composed of positive and negative charges distributed throughout a neutral sphere, like plums in a pudding.
The answer is in the names of the particles. The Neutron is neutral. The Electron is negative. The Proton is positive.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
The positive calcium ions in calcium chloride are attracted to the negative oxygen atom in the water molecule, while the negative chloride ions are attracted to the positive hydrogen atoms in the water molecule.
negative,positive,none
Atoms do not have positive and negative ends.Molecules, which are made up of several atoms, can be positive at one end and negative at the other; these are called "polar" molecules. The most common polar molecule is water, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H2O.
Normally atoms are neutral.
Loss or gain of electrons.
Yes, if they are ions
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
