An item becomes positively or negatively charged through losing/gaining electrons.
As electrons are lost the item becomes positive, and as electrons are gained the item becomes negative. (Electrons are negative charges and protons are positive charges.) An item cannot lose protons, as protons are fixed.
Gaining/losing electrons can be gained by charging by friction, contact, or induction (through the air).

What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
The atom becomes an ion. Also, A positively charged atom is called a Proton A Negatively charged atom is called a Electron
What happens when you add electrons to an uncharged object?
you will get shocked and it will probaly hurt
Are atoms normally negatively charged?
No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.
How does an atom become positively or negatively charged?
you add or take away electrons
Why does objects become positively charged if they lose electrons?
Losing electrons the positive charges become bigger than negative charges.
How does objects become positively and negatively charged?
By loosing and gaining an electron.
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
If electrons are rubbed from cat's fur onto a rubber rod does the cats fur become positively or negatively charged?
Positively charged,because electrons are negatively charged and when you remove them only protons remain and those are positively charged,what makes the fur positively charged as well.
How does a object become negatively charged?
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
5 What causes an atom to become positively or negatively charged?
Atoms become positively charged when they have a deficit of electrons. Similarly, they become negatively charged when they have a surplus of electrons. Neutral charge, the non-ionized state, is when the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
Atoms that combine if they become positively or negatively charged have what bonds?
Ionic bonds.
If you rub a balloon with wool does it become negatively or positively charged?
It becomes negatively charged because Wool readily gives away its electrons.

What forms when atoms gain or lose electrons and become positively and negatively charged?
ions
How objects become negatively charges?
To become negatively charged, an object must gain electrons from another object
