False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
Yes, when two substances rub against each other, one may lose electrons (becomes positively charged) while the other gains electrons (becomes negatively charged), leading to static charge buildup. This is due to the transfer of electrons between the substances during the friction process, causing one to become positively charged and the other negatively charged.
In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms, not protons. In ionic bonds, one atom loses electrons (becomes positively charged) and another atom gains those electrons (becomes negatively charged), but protons remain inside the nucleus and are not shared, gained, or lost in the bond formation process.
No. it is not true. All positively charged atoms "lose" electrons. not gain them. for example an atom with a charge of +1 has lost 1 electron, an atom with a charge of +2 has lost 2 electrons and so and so forth.
if the positivbe neuatns are catolones then they will be positively charges. if the neutons are spaced then they will be negatively charged :) I THINK
Some molecules can become ions, especially at very high temperatures or at other high-energy conditions. For example, a hydrogen molecule can become a positive ion by losing one of its electrons.
True. When a surface loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it has more positively charged protons compared to the negatively charged electrons.
Protons are positively charged but found in the NUCLEUS (so false). Electrons are found in the orbitals (but are negatively charged)
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.

False. Electrons are not distributed randomly; they occupy specific energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus of an atom, which contains positively charged protons. The arrangement of electrons is governed by quantum mechanics, leading to a defined structure rather than a random distribution.
B. False. Salt (sodium chloride) is a neutral compound formed from the combination of a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. The overall charge of salt remains neutral.
False. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. This balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.
No. it is not true. All positively charged atoms "lose" electrons. not gain them. for example an atom with a charge of +1 has lost 1 electron, an atom with a charge of +2 has lost 2 electrons and so and so forth.

if it can lose an electron it will have a positive charge. to begin with in a neutral state it has no charge it has an equal amount of protons (positively charged) in the nucleus as it has electrons (negatively charged particles) around the nucleus. Hence in loosing an electron the balance shifts to a positive over all charge. not all elements can become ions like this.
1) depends up on the the element basically: metals (electropositive elements) can donate nonmetals can(electro negative )elements can accpect the electrons 2)the result: if an atom losses the electron it becomes positively charged normally metals donate the electons and become + charged.
