An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Describes a molecule in which the positive and negative charges are separated?
It sounds like ionic is the term you're looking for.
Why do ionic compounds have an overall neutral electric charge?
Ions can be single atoms, as the sodium and chloride in common table salt sodium chloride, or more complex groups such as the carbonate in calcium carbonate. But to be considered an ion, they must carry a positive or negative charge. Thus, in an ionic bond, one 'bonder' must have a positive charge and the other a negative one. By sticking to each other, they resolve, or partially resolve, their separate charge imbalances. Positive to positive and negative to negative ionic bonds do not occur.
What is an ion with more electrons than protons?
When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged. The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (protons).
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No, positive objects can contain a mix of positive and negative charges. For example, in an atom, the nucleus contains positive protons while the surrounding electron cloud contains negative electrons.
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).
What is true about the number of positive and negative charges in a charged object?
A charged object can have an unequal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge. An object with more positive charges than negative charges will have a positive net charge, and vice versa for negative charges.
What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
Does an atom have more positive charges than negative charges?
No , an atom always has equal numbers of protons and electrons. If it has more charges of one kind than another is called an ion. Obviously this is caused by the number of protons and electrons compared to each other. If it has more positive charges, it has more protons than electrons, making it a positive ion. If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
What do you call the particle with more positive charges than negative charges?
This would be called a CATION.
What is the opposite of a negative charge?
The opposite of a negative charge is a positive charge. Positive charges have more protons than electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge.
When there is full of negative charges in a jar are there going to be negative charges?
No, if a jar is already full of negative charges, adding more negative charges would result in repulsion among the charges and likely lead to discharge or redistribution of charges. The negative charges would try to move away from each other to minimize repulsion.
Is there any negative charge on a positive charged object?
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
What does positive and negative charges make?
They stem from the nucleus of an atom. The atom is composed of electrons, which emit a negative charge, protons which emit positive charges and neutrons which have a neutral charge. When an atom, had a plus positive or minus negative charged, it is called an ion. ion because it either has an extra electron giving it a negative charge, or its missing an electron, giving it a positive charge
Do opposite charges attract each other?
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
