If you put an electric charge of known magnitude near the object, then it will either be attracted to the charge or repelled away from the charge. They will have the same charge if repulsion is observed or different charges if attraction is observed.

Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?
No; at least, not necessarily. To be positively charged, and object simply needs to contain *more* protons than electrons. Inversely, the same is true of negatively charged objects, which only need to have more electrons than protons.
Are there the same amount of protons as there are of electrons in and atom?
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
The type of particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons is an ion. Ions are called cations when they have fewer electrons than protons and anions when they have more.
How does the number of electrons relate to the number of protons in a neutral atom?
In normal matter, the only charged elementary particles are protons and electrons. An electrically neutral object will have exactly as many protons as electrons. A charged object will have slightly more of one than the other. But under normal conditions, the difference is extremely small compared to the total numbers.
What is an object that is positively charge?
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
What is nagatively charged object?
object with more no. of electrons than protons in it.....
What is a object that contains more electrons then protons?
This object is negatively charged and it is called an anion.
What kind of charge does an object have if it has more protons than electrons?
The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./
Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?
No; at least, not necessarily. To be positively charged, and object simply needs to contain *more* protons than electrons. Inversely, the same is true of negatively charged objects, which only need to have more electrons than protons.
When an object positively charged it has more blank than blank?
If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
The nucleus of an atom has both electrons and neutrons. An atom that has a positive charge means that the atom has fewer electrons than it has protons.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
Does Anions have more protons than electrons?
anions have more electrons than protons
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
What does it mean when an object is charged?
When an object is charged, it either has a surplus or deficiency of electrons. If it has a surplus, the object is negatively charged, and if it has a deficiency, then it is positively charged (has more protons than electrons).
How many electrons does an atom with a negative charge have?
It will have more electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge that is equivalent to the positive charge carried by protons. Thus, if an object is negatively charged, it will have more electrons than protons. By the same reasoning, if an object is positively charged, it will have more protons than electrons. As you may have guessed, a neutral object will have the same amount of electrons and protons, causing all the charges to cancel out. Therefore, if a compound has a negative sign added to the end of it, such as NO3-, that means the compound has one more electron than it would if it were neutral.
