A piece of fur is positively charged when?
when the electrons and protons are positively charged
What happens when a positively charged electron becomes neutral?
Electrons are negatively charged. They cannot be positively charged or neutral.
In ionic compounds the positively charged ions are formed from?
ionic compounds r made from different ions by ionic bonds or dative bonds ie. donating or taking electrons from electron rich or electron deficient compounds to complete their valence shells electron
What is used to break down compounds into elements during electrolysis?
You have two electrodes, one positively charged and one negatively charged by means of the voltage that you are applying. So, positively charged ions in a solution are attracted electrostatically to the negatively charged electrode where they receive electrons. And negatively charged ions are attracted electrostatically to the positively charged electrode where they donate electrons. Thus ions return to their uncharged elemental state.
Atoms are made up of negatively charged electrons embedded in a positively charged sphere?
in plum pudding model why thomson has considered electrons embedded in positively charged sphere?
A piece of fur is positively charged when?
when the electrons and protons are positively charged
What is the differnece between an ionic compound and a covolant compound?
In an ionic compound, atoms transfer electrons from one to the other, creating oppositely charged ions. The ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds tend to form between metals and nonmetals. In covalent compounds, atoms share electrons. Most covalent compounds form between nonmetals.
What class of elements tends to be involved in ionic bonding?
Metals and nonmetals tend to undergo ionic bonding when reacting with one another. Metals lose electrons and become positively charged ions, and the nonmetals gain these electrons and become negatively charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
Are electrons positively charged or negatively?
Negatively charged
What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
What happens to an object's atoms when the object becomes positively charged.?
They lose electrons.
Do IONIC COMPOUNDS need to be positively charged?
No they are not positively charged. Ionic bonds comprise of anions and cations.
What happens when a positively charged electron becomes neutral?
Electrons are negatively charged. They cannot be positively charged or neutral.
If electrons are rubbed from cat's fur onto a rubber rod does the cats fur become positively or negatively charged?
Positively charged,because electrons are negatively charged and when you remove them only protons remain and those are positively charged,what makes the fur positively charged as well.
What do metals become after the donate electrons?
Metal --> electrons + Metal ions (positively charged)
In ionic compounds the positively charged ions are formed from?
ionic compounds r made from different ions by ionic bonds or dative bonds ie. donating or taking electrons from electron rich or electron deficient compounds to complete their valence shells electron
