A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged).

What are ions atoms positive or negative?
Because they have either excess or deficiency of electrons, due to which the charge on the atom is unbalanced as the no. of protons always remain same. Thus the ion is charged
What is a term referring to matter having an excess or deficiency of electrons?
An isotope has an excess of electrons. This causes the chemical to be negative and able to bond with other things.
When something has a positive charge it has an excess of what elementary particles?
It lacks electrons rather then having an excess of elementary particles, but basically it's an excess of protons.
How do you find how many neutrons are in an ion?
You can find the charge of a nucleus by counting the number of protons, if you are looking for the charge of the atom over all you can then subtract the number of electrons. If your answer is positive you have an excess of protons and thus a positive atom and if negative you have an excess of electrons thus a negatively charged atom. 0 means both are balanced.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
What is the electric charges that builds up on an object that has gained or lost electrons?
If an object is negatively charged, it has an excess of electrons. If it is positively charged, there are atoms which are short of electrons so you observe the positive charges of the atomic nuclei which are no longer balanced by the electrons that were normally in place.
When the proton number and electron number are unequal the atom or molecule what?
has a charge which can be positive (excess protons) or negative (excess electrons). ... becomes an ion - positive ion if deficient in electrons, negative with an excess of electrons.
Which one is positive and negative?
In the context of electricity, positive refers to the presence of excess protons or an excess of electrons, while negative refers to the presence of excess electrons or a deficit of protons. In terms of characteristics or qualities, positive typically denotes something favorable, good, or beneficial, while negative denotes something unfavorable, bad, or undesirable.
Does the electrons go from the battery plus to - or is it the other way around?
Yes. The electrons, which are negatively charged, are pushed away from the negative terminal, which has excess electrons, and they and flow to the positive terminal where there are less electrons.
What are ions atoms positive or negative?
Because they have either excess or deficiency of electrons, due to which the charge on the atom is unbalanced as the no. of protons always remain same. Thus the ion is charged
Does grounding have an effect on charged objects?
Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.
When does the charge exist?
When a material has an excess of electrons, it has a negative charge. When it has a deficiency of electrons, it has a positive charge.
When does charge exist?
When a material has an excess of electrons, it has a negative charge. When it has a deficiency of electrons, it has a positive charge.
Does charge exist?
When a material has an excess of electrons, it has a negative charge. When it has a deficiency of electrons, it has a positive charge.
What is a term referring to matter having an excess or deficiency of electrons?
An isotope has an excess of electrons. This causes the chemical to be negative and able to bond with other things.
How does a negative ion differ from a positive ion?
Negative ions have an excess of electrons while positive ions have a deficiency of electrons.
When a rubber rod is rubbed with wool the rod becomes negatively charged?
Equal amount of positive charge in the woolReason: Just before rubbing both rod and wool are neutral. Now as we rub the rod with wool then loosely bound electrons get migrated right from wool to the rod. So rod gets excess electrons and balance between equal positive and negative goes off. So it gets negatively charged. If so then wool as it has lost electrons right from balancing it has to be positively charged
