If an atom that gains one or more electrons will have what charge?
it will have a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral, protons are positive and electrons are negative. an atom will have the same amount of protons and electrons to make the whole thing neutral. adding more electrons if give the atom a negative charge as there isn't enough protons in the atom to counteract the electrons. it do this an atom must already have 5-7 electrons in its outer shell as they are looking to fill there outer shell with 8 electrons. atoms with 1-3 electrons in its outer shell will get rid of them. group 4 doesn't make ions very well as 4 electrons would take too much energy to lose or gain, however there are exceptions. group 8 or 0 doesn't make ions either as they already have filled there outer shell and are stable.
How many electrons does it take to make a coulomb of negative charge?
6.242 x 1018
The charge of electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge. The easy way to remember it is because the names of the other two particle types which make up an atom sound like what they are: Proton is Positive Neutron is Neutral So you're only left with the negative charge, which must be assigned to the electron.
What do you get when the number of electrons is not the same as the number of protons?
Any imbalance in proton/electron number in an atom results in a charge. Fewer electrons makes a positive charge, while more electrons make a negative charged (obviously). Charged atoms are known as ions.
Which particle in a atom has a negative charge?
Electron
What charge does an exces of electrons produce?
An excess of electrons would produce a negative (-) charge since these particles are negative. If you imagine a scale with negative and positive weights, more negative weights would make the scales tip towards the negative end.

What are the three different tiny particles that make up an atom?
Electrons (Negative charge), Neutrons (Neutral charge), and Protons (Positive charge)

What kind of charge do protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
What surrounds a moving electrical charge?
it depends on what kind of charge it is if its a positive charge then protons are surrounding it if it is a negative charge then electrons are surrounding it does that make sense?
What kind of charges do protons and electrons have?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
What kinds of charges do protons electrons and neutrons have?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
What are the particles that make up an atom?
Here are some particles that make up an atom: Protons-Positive charge particles Electrons-negative charged particles Neutrons- no charge at all :))
The charge of electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge. The easy way to remember it is because the names of the other two particle types which make up an atom sound like what they are: Proton is Positive Neutron is Neutral So you're only left with the negative charge, which must be assigned to the electron.
What is the charge obtained by a neutral object if you are charging by contact?
I believe you mean charging by contact as in electrons hitting the atom- then I suppose it would be a negative charge, because an electron is negative and it would make the charge of the opposing atom negative.
What kinds of electral charge do protons electrons and neutrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
