Having too many or too few electrons?
Too many or too few electrons creates an ion. The standard definition of an ion is any element whose charge is nonzero and there are two types: anion and cation. A cation will have a positive charge, and thus fewer electrons than normal, and an anion will have a negative charge, and thus more electrons than normal.
How the charges on the body may be determined by using an electroscope?
when a substance is electrically charged it has either too few or too many electrons. when the electroscope is brought near a charged object the electrons 'jump' if the substance had too many electrons then the extras would 'jump' to the electroscope giving it a negative charge if the substance had too few electrons then the electrons from the electroscpe would 'jump' to the substance, giving the electroscope a positive charge
What does an electric charge contain?
Electric charges contain too many electrons or too few electrons.
What makes an object positively or negatively charged?
Step one. Charge the electroscope by the induction method. A rod is used of opposite sign to that required on the electroscope . The rod is brought near to the cap so that the leaf diverges by the amount desired, and the electroscope is momentarily earthed by touching it with a finger. The rod is then removed, leaving the electroscope charged. (If the charged rod used is Benoite this leaves a positively charged electroscope, if a glass rod is used then the result is negatively charged electroscope) Step two Now use the object of unknown charge, A charge of the same kind as that on the electroscope will cause an increase while a charge of the opposite kind will cause a decrease in leaf divergence when the object is brought near to the electroscope. You must bring the object down from a good height, and move it slowly down towards the cap so any change in divergence will not be overlooked before the object becomes to close to the cap. Bringing the object down too quickly and too close to the cap could lead to a false reading. Source(s): A. F. Abott Ordinary Level Physics

I have this question too.... but i have no idea what the answer is sorryyy :*

What creates a charge?
A lack of electrons causing a positive charge, or too many electrons causing a negative charge.

What is important about the number of electrons in the outside surface of an atom?
It keeps the atom at a constant charge. Too little electrons means the atom is positively charged, while too many means the atom is negatively charged.

How does an atom keep its charge balanced?
An atom contains an equal amount of positively charged particles (protons) and negatively charged particles (electrons). If a atom gains or loses electrons it then gains a charge and is no longer known as an atom; it becomes an ion.
When is an object electrically charged?
The Neutral is bonded to the ground at the FIRST main breaker, which is usually just as it comes from the meter. In normal residential applications, power comes from the meter, then to a panel. In that panel, the ground and neutral are bonded. If that panel feeds another panel, the second panel has to have its ground and neutral separated. Mobile homes have to have a main breaker outside the house, so the neutral is grounded there, and inside the mobile home, they are separated.
What does an ion have too many or too few of?
Electrons.
How many electrons would fluorine have to gain or lose too become stable what will be the stable ion's charge?
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
How does touch a small pith ball take away the charge on the pith ball?
The 'charge' in the pith ball is actually caused by too many or too little electrons. When you touch the ball, these billions of electrons would rather move to your nice, moist skin, than stay in the dry pith ball, because your skin is a better conductor than pith is.
