The electron and positron is the same particle. It is like if you draw a spiral an a transparent piece of paper. On way you see a clockyse sparal, kookfrom the back and you see a counter clockwise. One side deflect a north pole the other a south. to find out more go to rucko. ,c.o'm

Another name for positive charge?
The usual term is "positron." It's the antiparticle of an electron, having the same mass but opposite charge and opposite "electron number".
What type of radiation emitted by radioactive nuclei is negatively charged?
A Beta- particle is an electron, which has negative charge.Here are some other types: Alpha is a helium nucleus, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons (having positive charge). Positron is the antiparticle to electron. Positrons have positive charge. Gamma does not have charge. Neutrons do not have charge. Neutrinos do not have charge.
When an atom gains an electron to create full valence it results in that atom having a net charge of what?
If one electron is gained, then it has a charge of -1.
What electron configuration represents an atom having the greatest nuclear charge?
choice 4
What happens when a Chlorine atom forms a chloride ion?
When chlorine atoms form chloride ions, they gain one electron, and thus go from having a neutral charge to having a charge of -1.
Another name for positive charge?
The usual term is "positron." It's the antiparticle of an electron, having the same mass but opposite charge and opposite "electron number".
How you defined briefly negative charge without using mass of electron?
The charge has nothing to do with the mass, so there's no difficulty: A negative charge is one having the same sign as the charge on an electron. If you don't want electrons mentioned at all: A negative charge is one having the opposite sign as the charge on a proton.
What is the difference between a positron and electron and a nutrino?
A positron is like an electron in every way but charge, electrons having -1, positrons having +1. In other words, they're a positron is an electron's antiparticle. Neutrinos are chargeless, pointlike, nearly massless particles associated with electron and positron decays that exist in order to preserve the conservation of energy, momentum and angular momentum in these decay processes.

Positron is the antiparticle to electron. Positrons have positive charge. Gamma does not have charge. Neutrons do not have charge. Neutrinos do not have charge.
When an atom gains an electron to create full valence it results in that atom having a net charge of what?
If one electron is gained, then it has a charge of -1.
What is the opposition to electrons?
Another electron with the same negative charge would oppose (repel) it. So any negative ion would oppose it. If you need the oppositely charged particle then proton can be cited as an example having equal amount but opposite polarity of charge. If you like to know about the anti particle of electron then POSITRON is the right answer.
What parts of an atom has a negative charge?
The electron that are revolving around the atom in a fixed path is having negative charge.
What electron configuration represents an atom having the greatest nuclear charge?
choice 4
Why is an atom neutral dispite having charged partricals?
The charge of the protons is exactly opposite to the charge of the same number of electrons.
What is a subatomic particle having zero charge found in the nucleus of an atom?
This particle is the neutron.
What observation did Thomson make to suggest that an electron has a negative electric charge?
The deflection of cathodic rays was the source of inspiration for Thomson.
IS POSITRON IS NUCLEON?
No, a positron is not a nucleon.The term nucleon is applied to one of the two constituent particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. Those are the proton and the neutron, which are baryons.Whereas, positrons is a subatomic particle having the same mass as an electron but with an electric charge of +1 (an electron has a charge of −1).It constitutes the antiparticle of an electron. We don't see antimatter particles of any kind hanging around long in our "reality" here. (They "combine" with their antiparticles, and mutual annihilation will occur.)Should we investigate an antimatter universe, the positron will orbit the nucleus of an antimatter atom, just like the electron does in the atoms we look at. Naturally the nucleus of an antimatter atom will be composed of anti-protons and anti-neutrons.
