What else can I help you with?
Does barium has a charge of negative two?
No, barium does not have a charge of negative two. Barium is a metal element with a charge of +2.
How would you test a substance to see if it was metal?
See if it can carry a charge.
If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge the comb will become charged by?
induction. The negative charge on the object will repel the electrons in the metal comb, causing them to move away. This will leave the comb with a positive charge.
What are ionic compound and what charge do they carry?
Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds typically consist of a positively charged metal ion and a negatively charged nonmetal ion. The metal ion carries a positive charge, while the nonmetal ion carries a negative charge.
A neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge. What happens to the comb?
The negative charge of the object will induce a positive charge on the comb, causing the comb to be attracted to the object.
Can you get shock from a piece of metal?
Yes, but only if its current charge is the opposite of your current charge. (ex. being you're currently negative and the piece of metal is positive.)
If a neutral piece of metal gains 5 negative charges and then loses 8 negative charges what will its charge be?
The metal will have a net charge of -3 because gaining 5 negative charges adds -5, and losing 8 negative charges adds +8, resulting in a total of -3 negative charges.
A charged object is brought near a metal ball that is mounted on a rubber sheet. If the metal ball acquired a negative charge after it was grounded momentarily what must be the charge of the object th?
If the metal ball acquired a negative charge after being grounded, the charged object must be positively charged. When grounded, the metal ball gained electrons which caused it to become negatively charged. This would only occur if the charged object had an excess of positive charge to transfer to the metal ball.
Why do metal often make good conductors?
They contain delocalised electrons which can move and carry charge.
What will happen if a metal rod is rubbed together with silk?
When a metal rod is rubbed together with silk, electrons transfer from the metal rod to the silk due to the difference in their electron affinities. This creates a charge imbalance, with the metal rod acquiring a positive charge and the silk a negative charge. This is known as triboelectric charging.
What type of compound has positive and negative charges?
The material you are referring to is called a zwitterionic material, or on ocassion and amphoteric laterial. These materials carry both a positive and negative point charge on the same molecule.
Does a metal have a negative ion or a positive ion?
It could be either. Once a metal produces an ion (an atom with electric charge) it could be positive or negative, depending on number of electrons lost or gained.
