False. When an atom loses electrons, its charge becomes positive since electrons have negative charges. Compare it to: 0 - -1 = 1
What else can I help you with?
Is true or false electron and neutron have opposite charge?
False, electrons are negatively charged whereas neutrons have no charge. An electron is of opposite charge to a proton which has a positive charge.
Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Is a atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
It depends on which atom and how many electrons. Electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged. Atoms with fewer electrons than protons have a positive charge, they atoms are called cations. Atoms with more electrons than protons have a negative charge, they are called anions.
Is the following sentence true or false An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
False. It an Atom is losing electrons, the negative charge is being removed. The resulting charge of the Atom is positive. Think of it this way, when you add the two pieces, do you get the same thing you started with? Neutral Atom (0) - Electron (-) = Positive Atom (+) in reverse Positive Atom (+) + Electron (-) = Neutral Atom (0)
Atoms have a net charge of zero true or false?
True. The atoms have a proton which has a positive charge and there are same number of electrons with a negative charge. Those two charges cancel each other out and the charge becomes zero. The neutrons do not have any charge.
Some electrons have a charge of -1 and some have no charge?
Electrons are subatomic particles that always have a charge of -1 elementary charge. If they were to have no charge, they would not be electrons.
Neutral atoms contain the same number of protons as?
...the number of electrons. This balance between positive protons and negative electrons gives the atom a neutral charge overall.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it becomes a charged particle also known as an ion true or false?
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.
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
An atom that loses electrons has a negative charge?
The magnitude of the charge of an cation is proportional to the number of electrons lost. For example, when Na loses one electron it has a charge of +1, and when Mg loses two electrons it has a net charge of +2.
Do Protons have the same magnitude of charge as electrons but are opposite in sign?
No. Protons are positive and neutrons are neutral. Protons have exactly the opposite charge as that of electrons, even though they differ greatly in mass. Proton is 1826 times heavier than electron.
True or false it is impossible for the electrons in a battery to travel form the positive to negative terminal?
false
