Normally when an atom gives another atom a positive or negative charge it's because it donated or accepted an electron.

What causes a pithball to move in an experiment involving a pithball electroscope?
electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close to it
Why do some charged objects pull each other while other charged objects push each other?
The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
What state of matter is made up of particles that have broken apart?
The answer to this question is Plasma. Plasma is the special state of matter in which atoms are broken down into charged particles. A good reference would be the sun. ~Kazuku-Nakamaru
When an atom gains an electron what is formed?
When a neutral atom loses electrons, it forms an ion with a positive charge. The atom has more protons than electrons which causes the positive charge. A cation is an ion with a positive charge.
What causes an atom to have a negative charge?
An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.
5 What causes an atom to become positively or negatively charged?
Atoms become positively charged when they have a deficit of electrons. Similarly, they become negatively charged when they have a surplus of electrons. Neutral charge, the non-ionized state, is when the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
What causes plasma to form?
Plasma forms when a gas becomes extremely hot. When this happens, the gas' atoms gain lots of energy. This energy causes the electrons to detach from the nuclei of the gas' atoms. When the negatively charged electrons detach, the positively charged protons and neutral particles called neutrons in the nuclei are left.

electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close to it
What kind of arrangement causes an atom to become neutral?
an atom becomes neutral if the atom has an equal number of electrons and protons.
Why is sodium chloride not charged?
Sodium Chloride(NaCl) is not charged because sodium has a +1 charge while chloride has a -1 charge. This causes a balance in charge so the resulting compound is neutral(no charge)
When heat energy causes an object to become larger what happens to the object?
It expands
What effect does a negative object have on a neutral object?
If the event horizon (space, in this case) of one of the items is breeched by the other and touch, the neutral object becomes negatively charged. If they never touch, they both remain in their present condition. The neutral object's condition will never affect the charge of the negatively charged object, whether they touch or do not touch. The negatively charged item's condition will never change, regardless of physical touch between the two items. ***************Contributed by Czar Acumen*******************
How do charged objects attract neutral objects?
Some neutral objects have a weak dipole force where electron distribution is random across the whole object, and at any one given time, one side may be slightly more positive than the other. This attraction is very weak but it happens frequently especially in solutions.
What is electomagnetic force?
Electromagnetism is the force that causes the interaction between electrically charged particles; the areas in which this happens are called electromagnetic fields.
An object becomes charged when the atoms in the object gain or lose what?
An object becomes charged when the atoms in the object gain or lose? A) protons B) neutrons C) electrons D)All of the above Answer (1) - Wrong My answer is most definitely D) All Of Above Answer (2) - Right A) and B) because if we assume an object to be neutral at first then if we lose a proton (positively charged) the object becomes negatively charged, if we lose an electron (negatively charged) the object becomes positively charged. Neutrons have no net charge (neutrally charged) so if we take on away nothing happens.
What happens when a neutral safety switch goes bad?
A bad neutral safety switch generally causes one of two problems. Either the car can start in any gear, creating a safety hazard, or it will not start at all.
Molecules with partial charges?
Atoms are considered to be neutral with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. If an atom takes on extra electron(s) it becomes negativelly charged and is termed an ion or more specifically an anion to distinguishi it from positively charged ions.
