If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
Which materials tend to become positively charged?
Conductors
What happens to metals when they donate electrons?
They become positively charged ions.
Is an insulator positively charged or negatively charged?
I believe they'd are positively charged.
Positive charged center of an atom?
The positively charged center of an atom is the nucleus. The nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons. The protons are positively charged and the neutrons have no charge, therefore the nucleus is positively charged.
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
If electrons are rubbed from cat's fur onto a rubber rod does the cats fur become positively or negatively charged?
Positively charged,because electrons are negatively charged and when you remove them only protons remain and those are positively charged,what makes the fur positively charged as well.
How does an atom become a positively-charged ion?
sht
Which materials tend to become positively charged?
Conductors
5 What causes an atom to become positively or negatively charged?
Atoms become positively charged when they have a deficit of electrons. Similarly, they become negatively charged when they have a surplus of electrons. Neutral charge, the non-ionized state, is when the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of what?
A neutal atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of an electron.
How does objects become positively and negatively charged?
By loosing and gaining an electron.
What happens to metals when they donate electrons?
They become positively charged ions.
When you rub a ruler with a cloth why does it become charged?
it generates magnetic field and thus get charged
An atom can form a positive ion by?
Normally, atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. To become positively charged, an atom must lose an electron (Thus there'll be more protons than electrons). Such atoms are called cations (positively-charged ions).
