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.


Electrons carries a positive or negative charge?

Yes, they have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, they are neutral.


What is the charge on HClO?

A positive 5 charge, because there are 3 oxygens with a negative 2 charge, we know this because in almost every case Oxygen has a negative 2 charge. Making oxgen have a total negative 6 charge, and we know the molecule ClO3 have a negative one charge, thus making Cl to have a positive 5 chage to make the overall charge negative 1. To make sure, we know that hydrogen has a positive 1 charge, and since there is only 1 H atom we know that ClO3 has a negative 1, from which, shows we have done the work right, proving Cl has a positive 5 charge.


An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?

An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).


What are the subatomic particles of an atom and what are their charges?

Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?

No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.
