What do you call an atom with a charge?
If it has a positive charge it is a Cation. If it has a negative charge it is an Anion.
Why is a neutral atom not charged through it is made up of positive and negative particles?
The individual particles may be charged. Each electron has a charge of -1, and each proton +1.But if the atom has the same number of electrons as protons, then there is no overall charge on the atom.It is a bit like having a bank account. Over a month, say, you may put in $200 (call it a positive of 200) and take out $200 (negative 200). But over the whole month the balance is zero.
What do you call an object that is uncharged?
Could be one of these: 1. Suspect 2. Dead
What is a negative acceleration called?
You'll find a lot of people who call it "deceleration". But in real Physics, there's no such thing.There's only positive or negative acceleration, depending on whether the acceleration is inthe same or opposite direction compared to what you decided to call the positive direction.Negative acceleration is sometimes, but not always, associated with something that's slowing down.
What is its energy when the work done is positive?
First of all, let's get one important concept established. Energy is energy, and there is only one kind of energy. The only difference between what some people call positive or negative energy is point of reference. If the energy is coming towards you then it is called positive, and when it is moving away from you it is called negative. If the work that is done is constructive, then people tend to call it positive energy. If the outcome is destructive, they call it negative. In both cases, the same energy was used, just the results differed. Here's an example. If you build a house, it is a positive result. But if you tear it down, it is negative. You still used you muscles and tools to do it, just the final result was different. But, now if you tear down an old building and erect a bigger and better new one, then was the tearing down negative or positive? See what I mean? The same thing happens to electricity in circuit boards. They get bigger and smaller, diverted into different directions, stored and released, over and over again. The most important thing is what it made when it finished. If it made your mp3 player play your favorite tune, then you'd probably say positive. But if it didn't work, then somewhere the circuit is not directing the electrical energy to a positive result, music, but instead no music. Again, the same energy is being used, just the result may not be as 'positive.'
What do you call matter that has a balance of positive and negative charges?
Neutral charges
What occurs when positive and negative electrical changes build up in the clouds?
Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?
What do you call the particle with more positive charges than negative charges?
This would be called a CATION.
What it call of th the charges are negative?
anion
What do you call a negative electrode?
Cathode- is the negative electrode.Anode- is the positive electrode.
Why do they call positive numbers positive numbers?
Because their higher then negative numbers and they are 'POSITIVE'
Is a net loss a negative or a positive?
You can consider any direction as positive, and the opposite direction as negative. However, in this case it is customary to call a gain "positive", and a loss "negative".
Is out going a negative connotation?
I would call that positive.
What do you call elements that have a net positive or negative charge?
ion
Is east positive or negative?
You can assign positive numbers to east and negative to west - or you can do it the other way round. Which direction you call positive is really quite arbitrary. In Google Maps for example, east appears as positive.
What do you call a comment that is negative and positive at the same time?
A hybrid comment.
What do you call the positive or negative designation placed in front of a number?
Sign
