What else can I help you with?
How do you know which objects get positively charged and which objects get negatively charged?
For this we take a test charge which is a unit positive charge. Now, we take charge to be tested and bring test charge near to it. If both the charges repel the charge taken is positive and it they attract then the charge taken is negetive.
Why are positive charges not taken from the silk and placed on the glass?
In many materials, positive charges don't move around as easily as negative charges; that's why the most common charge/current carrier is the electron. A positive ion (for example) has a much larger mass; as a result, it has a fixed place within a solid.
When an atom loses electrons it becomes what charged?
An atom has three charges: protons which are +, electrons which are - and neutrons which have neither. They balance each other out. If electrons are lost, the atom now has more protons and the atom becomes positive.
What are two types of ions involved in an ionic bond?
In Chemistry, there are 2 types of ions: anions and cations. Anions are negatively charged ions. Cations are positively charged ions. I know this is not part of your question but just for info, do not mistake these with anode and cathode in electronics. I sometimes do...anode is a POSITIVE ELECTRODE. Cathode is a NEGATIVE ELECTRODE. cu, dri
When electrons are taken or given what kind of bond is this?
When electrons are taken or given between atoms, it forms an ionic bond. In this type of bond, one atom donates electrons, becoming positively charged, while another atom accepts those electrons, becoming negatively charged. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together. This process typically occurs between metals and nonmetals.
What is an atom that has given up or taken on electrons?
I believe you mean an ion, which is an atom or a group of atoms that has acquired a net electric charge by gaining or losing one or more electrons. atoms that lose electrons are metals that become positively charged cations. atoms that gain electrons are non-metals that become negatively charged anions.
Can objects be charged by induction?
I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away. When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.
Does caution mean positively charged?
No, caution does not refer to positive charge. Caution is a term used to describe care or attention taken to avoid danger or mistakes. The term "positive charge" is used in the context of electricity or physics to describe a type of charge carried by protons.
How can an atom become electrically CHARGED?
An atom gains a positive charge by losing electrons.
When a atom lose an electron it becomes a?
Electrons have a negative charge, so they are usually written as "e-". When an atom loses an electron, the net charge on the atom increases.Suppose a hydrogen atom is hanging out (note that hydrogen is diatomic, but ignore that part for now) and somehow loses its electron. The electron will get taken up by something else with a positive charge (opposite charges attract each other). In general it would look something like the following:H -> H+ + e-This positively charged hydrogen (H+ on the products side) is considered a Cation (cation's are positive as they have a T in them that looks like a +, anions don't have a T so they are what we call negatively charged anions).
What type of bond is formed as a result of an attraction between positive and negative charges?
No. Bonds formed between two ions of opposite charge are called ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are bonds between atoms of similar electronegativity, that share a pair (or multiple pairs) of electrons. Ions form ionic bonds, not covalent bonds.
Which is bigger negative or positive?
Positive is normally taken to be bigger.
