There are three different types of charges: positive, negative, and neutral. All three have their own specific properties having to do solely on atomic particles. In positive substances or ions, you will have a large number of protons which have a positive charge to outnumber the charge of the electrons which give off a negative charge, and lastly you have neutrons which don't really give a substance anything other than mass, to get a neutral charge the protons and neutrons must be in equal amounts to cancel out each others' charges.

The basic property of electric charges is that there are positive and negative charges created by positive and negative ions, which are atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. Opposite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other. Also, charges are measured in units called Coulombs (C), and they can be detected by a device called an electroscope.

What are the properties of organic compounds determined by?

The properties of organic compounds is determined by the shape of molecule and the positive and negative charges existing on the molecule. The factor of varying electro-negativity is also very important in determining the properties.

Copper II sulphate has variable valency properties, which translates to variable charges.

What is the Basic structure of an atom?

Basically, an atom consists of a very tiny nucleus surrounded by electrons. To understand the basic structure of an atom, you really need to know that the nucleus and electrons have opposite electrical charges. The nucleus is positively charged, and the electrons are negatively charged. Opposite charges attract; this is why the electrons stay bound to the nucleus. If there are an equal number of negative (electron) charges as there are positive charges in the nucleus (which come from the protons in the nucleus), the atom will will have no charge. The nature of the electron states is addressed by quantum mechanics. Electrons have wave properties. Without getting too deeply into the quantum theory, quite a lot about atoms and their properties can be rationalized using the Bohr model of the atom.


Is there way to estimate international shipping?

There are many ways to estimate international shipping charges. The United States Postal Service website has an interactive tool that asks for your shipment properties and calculates the estimated cost.


What are non-moving charges?

It means that they are charges (that usually refers to electrical charges), and that they don't move (or don't move significantly).


Which subatomic particles are attracted to each other?

Protons, which have positive charge, attract electrons, which have negative charge. Also, quarks with positive charge attract quarks with negative charge. (Actually, it is this electric charge which defines the properties of the particle they make up. A proton has more quarks with positive charges than with negative charges, for example.)
