How to find the elctron of an element?
Finding the electron of an element is easy. In if find through atoms which positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons.
Will beta particles bend towards the north or south pole of a magnet?
That's going to depend on which pole of the magnet is sticking out towards the beta stream (there are two choices), and also on the direction in which the electrons are flowing past the magnet (there are two choices).
What type of particles must be able to pass through the barrier to allow electrolysis to take place to?
Positively charged particles
When atoms lose electrons through an ionic bond they become?
Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.
What has negative charge and positive charge with more exampal?
I'm not completely sure what your getting at with this question but here's my answer: In a sense, a neutron is both positively and negatively charged because when a neutron undergoes beta decay it releases both a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron through an interaction involving a change in quarks via a weak force interaction.
Can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
Why do atoms have no electric charge even through most of there particles have charges?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
Is bacteria negatively charged or positively charged?
I would say, bacteria is positively charged. i suspected it was positively charged also may be, however; if it were to be negatively charged, could it still adsorb through a reversal process to a negative surface (clay for example?)
How does the Earth's magnetic field deflect charged particles?
A charged particle naturally changes direction in a magnetic field. This is because any charged particle produces a magnetic field when it is moving. And if the charged particle is moving through a magnetic field, the two fields (in this case the Earth's and the one created by the moving particle) interact to deflect the particle. The particle will be deflected "to the side" or laterally, and positively charged particles will be deflected in the opposite direction of negatively charged one.
What is a flow of a charged particle called?
The charged particle that flows through circuits is an electron.
Why is it easier to split a Uranium 235 nucleus using neutrons than using alpha particles?
they wont be repelled by the electromagnetic fields of the electron shell or the nucleus
What effect does a magnetic field have on a charged particle?
Yes, a moving electron will create a magnetic field. Any moving charge will create a magnetic field around its path of travel. This is the basis for the electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature.
What was the significance of the particles that reflected back from the gold foil?
Hope you mean the famous alpha particle scattering experiment performed. Alpha particle being positively charged get reflected. This confirms that there have to be positively charged particles within the gold foil. Moreover this scattering is very less compared to those just passing through gold foil. Rutherford as he made an observation of these he came to the conclusion that the positively charged core is so tiny and its radius of the order of 10-14 m. The radius of the atom was already found to be 10-11 m. So it becomes clear that the nucleus is 1000 times smaller than the atomic size
Who discoved the necleus?
E. Rutherford (1911) discovered the nucleus and provided the basis for the modern atomic structure through his alpha particle scattering experiment. According to Rutherford, the atoms is made of two parts: the nucleus and the extra-nuclear part. His experiments proved that the atom is largely empty and has a heavy positively-charged body at the center called the nucleus. The central nucleus is positively-charged and the negatively-charged electrons revolve around the nucleus.
Are there particles in electricity?
Static electricity is stationary electrical charge. Electrical current is moving electrical charge. Electrical charge is held in charge carriers. In electrical wiring there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles from the conduction band of the metal atoms of the wire. These electrons are delocalized and form an "electron gas" that fills the bulk of the solid metal. In semiconductor electronics there are two types of charge carriers: electrons and holes. Electrons are negatively charged real particles from the conduction band of atoms in the semiconductor. Holes are positively charged virtual particles produced when electrons are missing from the valence band of atoms in the semiconductor. In vacuum tube electronics there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles that can move freely through the vacuum inside the tube envelope from the negatively charged cathode to the positively charged anode. In chemistry there are two types of charge carriers: negatively charged ions and positively charged ions. Negatively charged ions are atoms with extra electrons n their valence band. Positively charged ions are atoms with electrons missing from their valence band. Atoms are real particles. In plasma physics there is one kind of charge carrier: positively charged highly ionized atoms. Positively charged highly ionized atoms are atoms missing many (possibly all) electrons. Atoms (even their bare nuclei without any electrons) are real particles. In particle physics there are three charge states of a particle: negative, neutral, and positive. The negative and positive particles are charge carriers. So yes, there are particles in electricity. But then in Quantum Mechanics everything is both a particle and a wave at the same time.
Why can atoms have a charge?
Atoms are electrically charged in order to attract other atoms during a chemical reaction to combine to make 2 new substances through displacement or combine through synthesis and make a new element ie. Na+Cl =NaCl = Salt
