How can materials become electrically charged?
Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
When does an object become electrically charged?
When it gains or loses electrons, usually by friction with another object.
What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.
What state of matter consits of electrically charged particles?
ions are electrically charged particles
Three particles that make up an atom?
Atoms consist of negatively charged electrons , positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons.
What is an electrically charged particle?
electrons
What is always electrically charged?
electrons & protons :-)
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Ions are electrically charged due to a gain or loss of?
Electrons
When is an atom electrically charged?
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
What is the difference between an electrically charged atom or a electrically balanced atom?
Most atoms are electrically balanced because they have the same number of protons, which have a charge of +1, and electrons, which have a charge of -1. However electrons can be lost or gained. When they are, the atom has a different number of protons to electrons so it becomes charged. Example. An uncharged atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. Sometimes it gains two electrons. This means that it has 8 protons but 10 electrons. +8 -10 = -2. therefore the charged atom of oxygen has a charge of -2.
What element has 20 electrons when the atom is electrically charged?
Neon atom
What make an atom an electrically neutral entity?
Neutrons are neutral charged, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. So since there are same number of protons and electrons, the atom becomes neutral charged/ electrically neutral entity. Simple as that!
Why do the electrons surround the atom?
Electrons are electrically-charged particles. Specifically, they carry a negative charge. Electrons are attracted to the nucleus which contains positively charged protons.
Is an electrically neutral atom the number of protons equals the number?
An electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons ( positive charged ) and electrons ( negatively charged ).
What subatomic particle is electrically charged?
In the atom: protons are positive and electrons are negative.
All atoms are electrically neutral why?
Because the Protons (+1) Cancel out the electrons (-1) and leaves the Neutrons which has a neutral charge.
