In the absolute sense, something that is 'positively charged' has more protons than electrons (normally an object has equal numbers of protons and electrons and, therefore, is neutral).
However, an object can also be described as being 'positive' in the relative sense. For example, we often describe an object as being 'positive' (in comparison with another object) when it is actually negatively charged, but is 'less negative' than that other object. For example, in the case of a simple cell, both the copper and zinc electrodes are actually negatively charged; however, the copper electrode, being 'less negatively charged' than the zinc, is referred to as being the 'positive electrode'.

Is an insulator positively charged or negatively charged?
I believe they'd are positively charged.
Positive charged center of an atom?
The positively charged center of an atom is the nucleus. The nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons. The protons are positively charged and the neutrons have no charge, therefore the nucleus is positively charged.
Is a positively charged ions are a referred to as a contion?
Positively charged ions are called CATIONS

Positively charged particles of an atom?
Only Protons are positively charged.
A piece of fur is positively charged when?

Does caution mean positively charged?
No caution does not mean positively charged.
Is Anode a positively charged electrode?
Yes, Anode is a positively charged electrode.
What is a positively or negativity charged atoms?
An ion is both positively and negatively charged.
The nucleus is positively charged?
Yes. The atomic nucleus is positively charged because it contains protons which are positively charged subatomic particles.
What happens when a positively charged electron becomes neutral?
Electrons are negatively charged. They cannot be positively charged or neutral.
What happens to a positively-charged alpha particles that comes the positively-charged nucleus?
It will repel
