No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.

What is the charge of an ion that contains 16 protons?
i think it depends how many electrons it has. then you do something like subtract the electrons from the protons. electrons are negative, protons are positive.
How many delocalised electrons are there in a coulomb?
6.24151 × 1018 electrons have a charge of minus one coloumb (the coloumb is defined in terms of positive charge). I don't know what you mean by "delocalized", but normally all electrons have the same charge.
Strip electrons from an atom and the atom becomes a?
Positive ion
How many electron ca2 plus?
Calcium has atomic number 20. A neutron calcium atom therefore has 20 protons and 20 electrons. Ca2+ has a charge of positive 2, so it must have 2 more protons than electrons. Ca2+ has 18 electrons.
What kind of charges do protons and electrons have?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?
The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.
When a voltage is applied to a conductor free electrons?
... drift toward the more positive end of the conductor.
What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?
Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.
What is difference between positive and negative conductor?
There is no positive and negative conductor. There are just two ends of a conductor, namely positive and negative. It is usually said that electricity flows from the positive to the negative side of a conductor, but scientists have discovered, that current consists of electrons that always flows from the negative to the positive side.
A conductor posses 11.2 x 10 to the power -8C of positive charge how many electrons does it have in excess or short?
First of all, the conductor possesses negative charge which means that the electrons are in excess. The no. of excess electrons :- Charge on conductor/charge of electron=11.2 x 10-8/1.6 x 10-19 =7 x 1011 electrons
Materials with many free electrons are considered what?
Electrical Conductor
A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor is an?
A conductor is a material that has one or a few electrons in the outer shell of its atoms. These electrons are easily knocked loose, or are already moving about in the material. When a voltage is applied to a conductor, these electrons are repelled by the negative polarity and attracted by the positive polarity. Their movement is called "current". a conductor is a material that transports electrons and electricity can pass through it, metals are good conductors. a insulator is something that is a barrier to electrons and can not pass electricity, rubber is a good insulator.
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor?
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor
When a positive electrical charge comes in contact with the neutral electrical charge what happens?
Yes, because the neutral conductor will transfer its electrons to the postitively charged conductor.
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.
How many free electrons in semi-conductor?
So many it can't be counted anymore.
How does air become good conductor during lightning and thunder bolts as is usually it is a bad conductor?
When lightning strikes the air is turned into plasma, which is a fourth state of matter. A plasma consists of a gas that has had some of the electrons removed from its molecules, creating a mixture of positive ions and free electrons. Plasma is a good conductor of electricity.
