Is an object's net charge positive or negative if it loses electrons?
An object's net charge becomes positive if it loses electrons because it has an excess of positive protons relative to negative electrons.
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
How do electrons behave in a conductor when no voltage is applied?
when no electricity flow then chare are in condition of static
What is the net electrical charge on a magnesium ion that is formed when a neutral magnesium atom loses two electron?
When a neutral magnesium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). Since electrons carry a negative charge, losing two electrons results in a net positive charge of +2 on the magnesium ion. Therefore, the net electrical charge on a magnesium ion is +2.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
When an object loses electrons it acquires an electric charge of?
It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
What is the name given to an atom that gains electrons?
It is an ION Answer: Yes it is an Ion, but no, it is formally called an Anion. Because it gained an electron it has become negatively charged. If it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
Why does it make sense that is an atom loses electrons it is left with a positive charge?

Is the net charge of an atom always zero?
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
What happens to a neutral object if that objects gains electrons?
If a neutral object gains electrons, it will become negatively charged. Excess electrons will create an imbalance in the object's charge, causing it to repel other negatively charged objects and attract positively charged objects.
When a sodium atom loses 2 electrons what is its charge?
When a sodium atom loses 2 electrons, it becomes positively charged because it has more protons than electrons. Sodium typically has 11 protons and 11 electrons, so losing 2 electrons results in a net charge of +2. Therefore, the charge of the sodium ion after losing 2 electrons is +2, denoted as Na²⁺.
