An object gives up one or more protons to get a positively charged objects and absorbs one or more electrons to get a negatively charged objects. This happens when two objects are rubbed together (ex. when you rub your feet on the carpet to give some one a shock;rubbing balloon on one's hair)

When an object has more negative charge than positive charge what is it called?
The object is named an 'ANION'. A CATION has positive charge. Collectively they are named as 'IONS'.
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
An electrically neutral object can be attracted by a positively charged object because?
A neutral pith ball is still "charged", it just doesn't display excessively charged behavior. Since it is neutral, having nearly equal positive and negative charge, the proximity of the positively charged pith ball still attracts the negative charge present in the ball, inducing polarization moving the ball closer to the positively charged one. Once they make contact, the conductibility of the pith ball quickly accepts excess charge from the other, creating a like charge repulsion.
What is the charge of anion?
A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
How does an object becomes positively charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
Is there any negative charge on a positive charged object?
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
Is an object without a charge repelled by both positive and negative charges?
Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.
Is it true that an object with a positive charge will attract another object with a negative charge?
yes
Is an object's net charge positive or negative if it loses electrons?
positive
How does an object get a positive charge or negative charge?
By loosing or gaining and electron.
Is charge the measure of extra positive or negative particles in an object?
positive
When an object has more negative charge than positive charge what is it called?
The object is named an 'ANION'. A CATION has positive charge. Collectively they are named as 'IONS'.
How is discharging in a positive object different in a negative object?
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
What charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?
negative
Does an electroscope identify if an object has a positive or negative charge or does it just indicate that an object has a charge?
Alll an electroscope does is tell you if there is charge
Is an object that has no electric charge as a whole is negative or positive?
No. It is neutral.
