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.

How you know if an object has more electrons or protons?

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.


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./


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 kind of charge does an object that has excess of electrons have?

negative


What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?

If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.


What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?

If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.


What does an object's electric charge depend on?

An object's electric charge depends on the balance of positive and negative charges within the object. If an object has more electrons than protons, it will have a negative charge. If it has more protons than electrons, it will have a positive charge.


When an object positively charged it has more blank than blank?

If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.


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.


An object has five million more electrons than protons What is the net charge of the object?

5*10^6 =5000000 5000000*(1.6*10^-19) = 3.125e25


What results after an atom gains electrons?

Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.


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.
