I'm not completely sure what your getting at with this question but here's my answer: In a sense, a neutron is both positively and negatively charged because when a neutron undergoes beta decay it releases both a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron through an interaction involving a change in quarks via a weak force interaction.

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.


What is the opposite of a negative charge?

The opposite of a negative charge is a positive charge. Positive charges have more protons than electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge.


Do ions have a positive or negative charge?

Ions can have either a positive or negative charge. Positive ions, known as cations, have more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negative ions, known as anions, have more electrons than protons, giving them a net negative charge.


What charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?

The object would have a negative charge if it has more negative particles than positive particles. This is because the excess negative particles result in an overall negative 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 is an atom with a positive charge or negative charge called?

A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.


Is charge the measure of extra positive or negative particles in an object?

Yes, charge is the measure of extra positive or negative particles in an object. Objects with more electrons than protons have a negative charge, while objects with more protons than electrons have a positive charge. The unit of charge is the coulomb.


What kind of charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?

The object would have a negative charge. Negative particles, such as electrons, carry a negative charge when they outnumber the positive particles, such as protons.


Is there any negative charge on a positive charged object?

Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.


Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?

The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.


How do you positive ion generates?

when an atom loses one or more of its electrons(negative charge) and have more protons(positive charge). this creates a positive ion


What is the charge of anion?

A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
