What does an object get when it gains or loses electrons?
electric charge
An object picks up a static charge when the object gains or loses?
Electrons
How does an object change as it gains more electrons?
It becomes negatively charged.
If electrons are removed from an object is the object positively or negatively charged?
If electrons leave an object it becomes positive. If an object gains electrons it becomes positive. If it has the same types of charges with the same amount it becomes neutral.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
What happens to the neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
It gains electrons!
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.
What does an object get when it gains or loses electrons?
electric charge
An object picks up a static charge when the object gains or loses?
Electrons
Is the change in mass significant when an object gains or loses electrons?
no
What cause an electric charged?
when an object gains or loses electrons
What happens to a neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
negatively charged
What happens to neutrall charge object if it gains electrons?
negatively charged
How does an object change as it gains more electrons?
It becomes negatively charged.
When does an object become electrically charged?
When it gains or loses electrons, usually by friction with another object.
If electrons are removed from an object is the object positively or negatively charged?
If electrons leave an object it becomes positive. If an object gains electrons it becomes positive. If it has the same types of charges with the same amount it becomes neutral.
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.
