Is the number of protons the positive charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
When an atom loses a electron it becomes a what?
Atoms balance out their charges by having the same amount of protons as electrons. Since protons are positive, and electrons are negative, losing an electron increases the positive charge of an atom. This makes it an ANION. If an atom were to gain an electron, it would make it a CATION.
Which particle of the atom has a positive charge?
protons have positive charge
Symbol of protons in atom?
It is positive
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
The nucleus of an atom has both electrons and neutrons. An atom that has a positive charge means that the atom has fewer electrons than it has protons.
How is an atom neg or positive?
if the atom has more protons then electrons it is positive and vis versa
What is a positive charged particle in an atom?
Protons are a positively charged particles in an atom.
Which particle of the atom has a positive change?
Protons have positive charge
What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.
Positive charge particles in an atom are?
Protons.
Which part of the atom has a positive charge?
Protons
In the nucleus of an atom are the protons positive?
yes
