An atom of antimatter does not contain any electrons. The equivalent of an electron in antimatter is a positron, which has charge +1.

What will be the total energy of atom having negative nucleus and positive electron?
This would be, by definition, antimatter. It would equal the total energy output of regular matter.
What part of the atom has a negative charge is the?
Electron Carries A Negative Charge.
Is electron an example of a lepton?
Yes. In physics, electrons are defined under the classification of leptons. Yes. Leptons are a class of elementary particles that interact with each other by the weak interaction. The electron is one of these particles.
What is the charge on an atom that has gained 5 electrons?
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?
Every electron has a charge of minus one. If a neutral atom acquires an additional electron, then it also acquires the charge of that electron, and will have a net charge of minus one.
IS POSITRON IS NUCLEON?
No, a positron is not a nucleon.The term nucleon is applied to one of the two constituent particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. Those are the proton and the neutron, which are baryons.Whereas, positrons is a subatomic particle having the same mass as an electron but with an electric charge of +1 (an electron has a charge of −1).It constitutes the antiparticle of an electron. We don't see antimatter particles of any kind hanging around long in our "reality" here. (They "combine" with their antiparticles, and mutual annihilation will occur.)Should we investigate an antimatter universe, the positron will orbit the nucleus of an antimatter atom, just like the electron does in the atoms we look at. Naturally the nucleus of an antimatter atom will be composed of anti-protons and anti-neutrons.
What happens to the charge of an atom if you take one electron away?
there would be a plus (+) charge. Electrons have a negative charge so when a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes positive. Another word for this is a cation.
If an atom gains an electron would it have a negative or positive charge?
it would have a negative charge
What is the charge of an atom that gains an electron?
since electrons are negative, you would subtract one from the original charge of the atom. For example, is the atom was neutral, the charge would then be 1-
What would be the electrical charge of a sodium atom that lost an electron?
if a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from a sodium atom it would become positively charged APEX
Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
What charge would you get from a lithium atom if a bromine atom were to attract to an electron from lithium?
The charge if a fluorine atom were attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would be positive. -APEX
What will be the total energy of atom having negative nucleus and positive electron?
This would be, by definition, antimatter. It would equal the total energy output of regular matter.
What part of the atom has a negative charge is the?
Electron Carries A Negative Charge.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
Is electron an example of a lepton?
Yes. In physics, electrons are defined under the classification of leptons. Yes. Leptons are a class of elementary particles that interact with each other by the weak interaction. The electron is one of these particles.
