by loosing one or more electrons then it is an ion
they aquire negative charges by gaining electrons
they aquire positive charges by losing electrons
The proton of an atom carries the positive charge.
protons have positive charge
The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. The negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus more or less balances out the 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
an atom has a positive charge due to the fact that it has a positive
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
The proton of an atom carries the positive charge.
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
Positive charge: cationNegative charge: anion
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
no. electrons have negative charge. protons have positive charge
The positive charge of an atom is located in the nucleusin the form of protons.
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
False. It an Atom is losing electrons, the negative charge is being removed. The resulting charge of the Atom is positive. Think of it this way, when you add the two pieces, do you get the same thing you started with? Neutral Atom (0) - Electron (-) = Positive Atom (+) in reverse Positive Atom (+) + Electron (-) = Neutral Atom (0)
