How could one atom become positive and and another become negative?

Ions (atoms that have lost or gained electrons) can make an atom become positive (a cation) or negative (a anion). When an atom loses an electron it becomes positive since there are more protons (positively charged particles) than there are electrons (negatively charged particles) at that point. When an atom gains an electron it becomes negative because there are more electrons than are protons at that point.

Can negative and a positive blood type make a positive?
If one of the parents is A positive, the child could be A positive.
What are the 3 types of blood?
could you be more specific there are several types of blood O, AB, A, & B. Each of which could be positive or Rh negative.
What blood type would a child be with a AB neg mother and O positive father?
The child could be A+, AB+, B+, A-, AB-, or B-. That is, any blood type except O positive or O negative.
What is the scientific word for positive and negative charges?
positive and negative charges.... there is no other term... unless you want to get technical and describe what is happening in the metals Protons are positive Electrons are negative BTW neutrons are neutral OR You could also be talking about what ^ is talking about those >I think< are called cathodes and anodes
What happens when objects lose electrons?
electrons have a negative charge, so think of each electron as -1 protons are +1 and neutrons are...well they're neutral, so they're 0 if you lose electrons then it becomes more positive, so if it was already neutral then it will become positively charged it could be that it was on -1 already as a total charge (so it was already negatively charged), so if this atom loses an electron then it will just become neutral
When you add a positive and a negative what does it become?
the answer could be negative or positive depending on whether the negative number you're adding is bigger than the positive number
When you have a negative and positive in math does it become a negative?
It depends on what you do with the negative and positive. If you multiply or divide a positive number and a negative number, then the answer is negative. If you add or subtract a positive number and a negative number, the answer could be negative or positive depending on the numbers involved. If you put a negative sign in front of a positive number, the result is a negative number. If you put a positive sign in front of a negative number (like +(-7)), the result is still negative.
What is negative subtracted by a positive?
The Answer could be neither positive nor negative because the positivve could be bigger than the negative or the neagative could be bigger than the positive
Can an A positive father and a B positive mother have a B negative child?
If the mother is A negative, and the father is B positive, they could have children who are A negative, A positive, B negative, B positive, AB negative, AB positive, O negative, or O positive.
When oxidation number positive or negative?
It could be any thing. It is different to elements.
What is stress response?
It could be negative if it goes on for along time. A person could also become depressed. But stress response could also be positive.
What is the stress response?
It could be negative if it goes on for along time. A person could also become depressed. But stress response could also be positive.
When a negative number is cubed is it negative or a positive number?
I think that it's a negative number, as a negative times a negative is a positive, and a positive times a negative is a negative, but I could be wrong. (DUN-DUN--DUUUUUN...)
How do you subtract a negative fraction from a negative fraction?
In the same way that you would answer a fraction subtract another fraction. The result could be either positive or negative, just as is the case with negative whole numbers.
What will be the difference when subtracting two integers with different signs?
Subtracting: Positive - Negative = Positive Negative - Positive = Negative No that is not the way it goes. It is positive+negetive=either counting on which integer is bigger negative+negative=positive positive+positive=positive positive x negetive=negative negative x postitve= negative negative/positive=negative positive/negative=negetive thanks The top is right though because subtracting a negative is like adding so you could never get a negative and subtracting from a positive from negative will always be a negative. The question was for integers with different signs so you don't need to do "positive + positive"
What are the coordinates of a point that could be in each of the four quadrants?
The coordinates must be as follows: First quadrant: positive, positive Second quadrant: negative, positive Third quadrant: negative, negative Fourth quadrant: positive, negative
What does a fraction equals if it is a positive and a negative being added?
Depends on how big they are. The resulting number could be positive or negative. Negative 1/4 and Positive 1/2 will be a Positive 1/4. Positive 1/4 and Negative 1/2 will be a Negative 1/4.
