Its called charge.
If an atom has an excess of electrons it is an ion (-)

If an atom has a deficiency of electrons it is a cation (+)

When something has a positive charge it has an excess of what elementary particles?

It lacks electrons rather then having an excess of elementary particles, but basically it's an excess of protons.


Where does the thermionic emission occur in cathode rays tube?

Basically the thermionic rays are fast moving electrons. They originate in the region having an excess of electrons. So originate from the cathode.


The potential difference of a battery depends on having an excess number of electrons at the negative terminal and a deficient number of electrons at the positive terminal?

That is true but not very - the excess of electrons at the negative terminal is small. The important thing is that if you place a load (radio set, light bulb etc.) on the battery the electrons flow through the load and this movement is supported by energy supplied by chemical action in the battery.

What happens to a neutral object if that objects gains electrons?

It happens when the object is composed of atoms with the shell of electrons is having deficiency of few electrons. In this case these atoms tends to acquire electrons to fill their outer electron shell and consequently getting negatively charges.


How do you control deficiency disease?

having a knowledge of a balanced diet


Having too many or too few electrons?

Too many or too few electrons creates an ion. The standard definition of an ion is any element whose charge is nonzero and there are two types: anion and cation. A cation will have a positive charge, and thus fewer electrons than normal, and an anion will have a negative charge, and thus more electrons than normal.
