How do you know the charge of a proton?
By definition, a proton is positive, so a proton will always have a positive charge.
Does a proton have charge?
All we can say is that it is the nature of electrons to carry a negative charge, and for protons to carry a positive charge. The intrinsic cause of these charges is still not yet understood, and awaits the further development of sub-atomic physics models.
What kind of charge do protons neutrons and electrons?
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.
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.
Which subatomic particles have a charge?
protons-positive neutrons-neutral electrons-negative
Which particles moves when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge?
Electrons
A body acquires positive chargewhat is this mean?
it means it loses its electron to acquire (+)charge
What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?
A positive charge
What do you mean by charged and uncharged body?
Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge. A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
What is the name of an atom that loses an electron?
== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.== ==when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increaseswhen it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
When an object loses electrons it acquires an electric charge of?
It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.
Will a plastic comb with extra electrons have a positive charge?
No the answer is that it has an negitive charge
Will rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth?
Yes, rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth. As a result, glass rod acquires positive charge and silk acquires negative charge.
What type of charge does plastic collect when rubbed?
positive
What do you call atoms that gain or loose electrons?
== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.== ==when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increaseswhen it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
When a ping-pong ball is made to touch a charged plastic rod it is attached and then repelled?
yes , because the positive charge are attach in it
How do the ways in which the mass and the charge of an atom are distributed differ?
IF it donates an electron -then atom gains positive charge and if it accepts an electron then it acquires negative charge. the mass of an atom is dependent on protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons decide the charge of an atom
