Do cations lose electrons?
a cation gains electrons and has a positive charge while a anion loses electrons and has a negative charge
Which subatomic particle moves between atoms when charge is transferred?
Valence Electrons
What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?
A positive charge
Why do cations bear positive charge?
Cations are formed when an atom loses electron(s). Since there are more positively charged protons than the negatively charged electrons, cations have positive charge.
What specifies the properties of electrons?
The number most usually associated with electrons is minus one, which describes their electrical charge.
Do cations lose electrons?
a cation gains electrons and has a positive charge while a anion loses electrons and has a negative charge
When transferring charge only even number of electrons can move?
Amount of charge transferred is always an integral multiple of 1.6x10-19 C. Number of electrons transferred may or may not be equal to the multiple of 2.
Which subatomic particle moves between atoms when charge is transferred?
Valence Electrons
What happens when you rub ebonite with a wood cloth?
electrons are transferred to the stick,causing it to take on a negative charge.
A charge particle that forms when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
Ion.
If a plastic ruler is rubbed with a cloth does the ruler obtain a positive charge?
Because electrons will be transferred from the cloth to the insulating rod. But the charge will be negative.
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
What happens when rub an ebonite with a wool cloth?
The ebonite rod will gather a static electric charge, as electrons are transferred.
What is a charge particle that forms when one or more electrons are transferred from one element to another?
It is called an Ion.
What happens when you rub ebonite stik with a wood cloth?
electrons are transferred to the stick,causing it to take on a negative charge.
What things attract static electricity?
Static electricity is when there is either an excess (negative) or lack of (positive) electrons. If electrons are transferred onto another surface, for example by rubbing them together, a positive charge is formed, but if electrons are gained, a negative charge is formed.
What is the force that causes electrons to move in a conductor?
A charge is transferred (coulombs) and this amounts to an electric current (amps)
