How many electrons does an atom with a negative charge have?
It will have more electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge that is equivalent to the positive charge carried by protons. Thus, if an object is negatively charged, it will have more electrons than protons. By the same reasoning, if an object is positively charged, it will have more protons than electrons. As you may have guessed, a neutral object will have the same amount of electrons and protons, causing all the charges to cancel out. Therefore, if a compound has a negative sign added to the end of it, such as NO3-, that means the compound has one more electron than it would if it were neutral.
What process in which spiderlings are carried away to their new homes?
Sometimes they just crawl to a new home, but they are so small that they are carried on even the smallest breeze to their new homes.
True or false During photosynthesis when electrons are transferred from one molecule to another they are usually carried by hydrogen ions and NADP plus?
True
Which charged particles in the atom would be easily transferred from one material to another like when you rub a plastic comb with a piece of silk explain?
If the two objects are solid, the electrons, because the nucleus is relatively fixed in relation to neighboring atoms. This means one of the materials is building up negative ions (receiving electrons) while the other is building up positive ions (giving up its electrons).Wikipedia:Static Electricity: An excess of electric charge trapped on the surface of an object. The charge remains until it is allowed to escape to an object with a weaker or opposite electrical charge, such as the ground, by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.Electric Current: In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.
What is the function of oxygen in aerobic repsiration?
Oxygen serves as an electron acceptor. When food is completely metabolised in the organism, it is decomposed to electrons, protons and CO2. The electrons are carried by NADH to mitochondria, to electron-transport chain. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen receives electrons, thus providing for maximal yield of energy carried by those electrons (in the electron-transport chain, they are used for pumping protons across the mitochondrial membrane, thus proton gradient which empowers ATPase, is maintained). At last, the ATPase enzyme produces ATP, the usable form of energy.
Why cant positive charges be used to create current?
Actually, they can. In metals, it's common for an electrical current to be carried by electrons, and that's because electrons are light (low mass), and move around easily. But electrons are by no means the only charge carriers - for example, in a liquid, currents may be carried by positive ions; and in a semiconductor, either by electrons (which have a negative charge) or by holes (which have a positive charge).
What sized particles aré probably carried the farthest by the wind?
The smallest

What is the difference between negatively charged object than a positively charged object?
Positively charged objects is a charge that has more protons than electrons as apposed to a negative charged object which is a charge carried by more electrons than protons. Hope i could be help Kristal :) edited by Frank
Which charge is voltage carried by in an electrical circuit?
Well, first of all, voltage is not carried. Voltage is the 'pressure' between the ends of a circuit that makes charges want to flow. The charge carriers that actually do the physical flowing are the electrons, with their negative charges. When they flow, we say that there is 'current' in the conductor.
What form of energy is carried by electrons in circuits?
Electrical energy
What electron carried the current in a metal conductor?
The valance electrons.
The smallest unit of living matter in which all life processes are carried out?
Cell
Why is the charge carried by electrons instead of protons in metal?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, not around the nucleus as electrons are.
A type of energy carried by the movement of electrons?
electrical energy --- electricity

NAD+
Where do the high-energy electrons carried by NADPH come from?
Photosystem 1
