Silver has a positive charge because it could make things go to it it can charge very well and it does'nt have a negative charge because then it might go everywhere so Silver is made of silver coal rock type and it could charge.

What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
What are electropositive metals?
Electro positivity of a metal is the capacity of a metal to lose electrons to attain a positive oxidation state or charge.
When one metal ion shares electrons with anthor metal ion it is called?
Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.
What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
What is a positive charge and particles called that have no charge?
A positive charge is a positive electrical charge. Particles with no charge are called neutral particles.
Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
If a metal emits electrons does that metal eventually gain a positive charge of some sort?
yes. the metal gains positive charge as that loses its neutral state by the loss of electrons
What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
What type of atom will get a positive charge and become a cation?
metal atoms
What are the top ways of identifying metal ions?
They have a positive charge. All metals form positive ions.
Do all alkaline metals form ions with a positive charge?
Yes, all metal ions are positive.
Can you get shock from a piece of metal?
Yes, but only if its current charge is the opposite of your current charge. (ex. being you're currently negative and the piece of metal is positive.)
Does iron have a positive charge?
yes of course it does, iron has a +1, +2, +3, and a +4 charge
What are electropositive metals?
Electro positivity of a metal is the capacity of a metal to lose electrons to attain a positive oxidation state or charge.
Why is the probable charge of an ion of calcium positive?
calcium is a metal which ionizes by electron loss,so a calcium ion has lost to electrons and the positive charge indicates electron deficiency.
When one metal ion shares electrons with anthor metal ion it is called?
Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.
Does a metal have a negative ion or a positive ion?
It could be either. Once a metal produces an ion (an atom with electric charge) it could be positive or negative, depending on number of electrons lost or gained.
