What is either positive or negative?

zero


What kinds of charges can ions have?

Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.


Can ion have a positive and negative charge?

An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.


Are Photons positive or negative?

No, they aren't. Photons are the gauge particles of the electromagnetic force, but they themselves carry no electric charge (or magnetic charge either, for that matter). A photon has no electrostatic charge.


What is the difference between a proton an an electron?

Protons and Electrons are actually quite different. Protons have a positive electric charge, while electrons have a negative electric charge. Atoms usually have the same number of protons and electrons, which means they balance each other out giving a neutral electric charge. If there are more of either protons or electrons, the atom will have an overall charge. (Negative or Positive). Protons are also located in the nucleus with the neutrons, while electrons are located in the outer shells surrounding the nucleus.

What is mean polar?

What is meant by polarity? Answer An electric charge has a polarity of either positive or negative. Also a voltage has a polarity, in that it could be positive or negative, with respect to some other voltage, such as the one at the other end of a battery or electric circuit.


Does a metal have a negative ion or a positive ion?

It could be either. Once a metal produces an ion (an atom with electric charge) it could be positive or negative, depending on number of electrons lost or gained.


Can ions have positive and negative charge?

An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.


Does your hair have a negative or positive charge?

Niether. Our hair are electrically neutral as they are insulators. However by friction, it is possible to charge them either positive or negative.


What have an electric charge of 1?

Atoms with charge are called ions. These ions have either gained or lost valence electrons to gain a net positive or net negative charge. Ions with a positive electrical charge of positive 1 (+1) are metals in the Alkali Metals Group and Hydrogen. Ions with a negative electrical charge of 1 (-1) are elements in the Halogen Group.


What is the flow of electricity charge?

it is the rate at which electric charges pass though a conductor. The charged particle can be either positive or negative. In order for a charge to flow, it needs a push (a force) and it is supplied by voltage, or potential difference. The charge flows from high potential energy to low potential energy.
