Scientist who discovered that atoms contained electric charge?
Benjamin franklin
Who discovered that atoms have negative electric charge?
There were several scientists that discovered that atoms contained electric charges. One of the first to look at their charges more closely was J.J. Thomson.
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Which particles in atoms have a electric charge?
electrons
When electrons were discovered scientist inferred that neutral atoms contain positive charges because?
When electrons were discovered, scientists inferred that neutral atoms contain positive charges because electrons have a negative charge and atoms were found to be neutral overall. This led to the conclusion that atoms must contain positively charged particles to balance out the negative charges of electrons, thus making atoms electrically neutral.
Do atoms have no overall electric charge?
Correct
What particles in atoms have a negative electric charge?
Electrons.
What are atoms with a positive electric charge called?
Cations.
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What is the name of a particle with an electric charge?
The particle with an electric charge is called the proton. It makes up part of an atoms nucleus.
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
