When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?

It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.

If an atom has 23 protons then how many electrons does it have?
2+, of course. You have two more positively charged protons than negatively charged electrons. Neutrons are, of course, are neutral in charge.
What are the 3 sub atomic particles?
Positively charged protons Neutral neutrons Negatively charged electrons
What 3 subatomic particles make up an atom what are their charges?
Positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons
What are the negatively charged electrons attracted to?
protons, which are positively charged
How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
Is proton negativity charged?
No. Protons are positively charged.
What make an atom an electrically neutral entity?
Neutrons are neutral charged, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. So since there are same number of protons and electrons, the atom becomes neutral charged/ electrically neutral entity. Simple as that!
Do protons have negative charges?
no, they have a posotive charge , electrons have negative and neutrons have no charge or are neutral
What are the major types of subatomic particles?
positively charged protons negatively charged electrons neutral neutrons
Is an electrically neutral atom the number of protons equals the number?
An electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons ( positive charged ) and electrons ( negatively charged ).
How does a neutron have same number of protons and electrons?
a neutron is neutral. it doesn't have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom that is neutral does. A neutron has the same mass as a proton but it doesn't have a chrge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.
An atom is neutral and an electron had a charge of -1.6X10 -19 c?
An atom?æconsist of protons,electrons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged,?æ while neutrons are not charged.?æIts neutral because the number of protons and electrons are equal.
What determines an element's charge?
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
Why does a neutral atom have no overall change?
In the case of neutral atom, the number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons will be the same.
What has a positively or negatively charged particle of an atom?
In an atom, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. If the number of protons and electrons are equal, those atoms are said to be neutral. If they are not equal, it has formed an ion with the net charge.
Why are oxygen atoms neutral if they have 8 positively charged protons?
Because they also have 8 negatively charged electrons.
What is the three particles that make up the atom?
Protons (positive charged), neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negatively charged).
