∙ 13y agoAfter gaining an electron, it gains a negative charge. Because it now has an extra negative charge, the total/overall charge of the atom is negative.

The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
What does it mean when an object has a positive charge?
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
How does an object becomes charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
How an object become positively charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
When charging an object by conduction what happened to the charge an object?
Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge. Apex ;)
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.

What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
Charge of an atom that has gained electrons?
It is a negative charge
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 charge does an atom that has gained electrons?
Positive
What charge would nitrogen have if it gained 3 electrons?
Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
What does it mean when an object has a positive charge?
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
What charge does an object have when proton and electrons are evenly distributed?
the object will have neutral charge
The charge an object has when it has lost electrons?
Negative charge!!
A charge atom that has gained one or more electrons?
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. An ion has an unequal number electrons and protons giving it either a positive or negative charge.
How does body becomes negatively charge?
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
