No. it is not true. All positively charged atoms "lose" electrons. not gain them. for example an atom with a charge of +1 has lost 1 electron, an atom with a charge of +2 has lost 2 electrons and so and so forth.

When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?

False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.


True or false what particle formed from the covalent bonding of atoms is called ions?

False. Ions are formed from the loss or gain of electrons by atoms, resulting in a charged particle. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Is it true or false in the formation covalent or ionic bonds is it the protons that are shared gained or lost?

In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms, not protons. In ionic bonds, one atom loses electrons (becomes positively charged) and another atom gains those electrons (becomes negatively charged), but protons remain inside the nucleus and are not shared, gained, or lost in the bond formation process.


Does Static charge develops on a substance as it acquires or loses protons due to friction?

Yes, when two substances rub against each other, one may lose electrons (becomes positively charged) while the other gains electrons (becomes negatively charged), leading to static charge buildup. This is due to the transfer of electrons between the substances during the friction process, causing one to become positively charged and the other negatively charged.


What is true about all anions?

Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.

True or false a surface that loses electrons becomes positively charged?

True. When a surface loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it has more positively charged protons compared to the negatively charged electrons.

The strength of the electric field of a charged particle becomes greater as the distance from the particle decreases?

Yes, the strength of the electric field of a charged particle does increase as you move closer to the charged particle. This is because electric fields follow an inverse square law, meaning that the field strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charged particle. As you move closer, the distance decreases, leading to an increase in the electric field strength.

True or false A Proton is positively charged and found in the orbitals?

Protons are positively charged but found in the NUCLEUS (so false). Electrons are found in the orbitals (but are negatively charged)


The loss of electrons from food molecules is reduction true or false?

It is false that the loss of electrons from food molecules is reduction. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles.


Does Static charge develops on a substance as it acquires or loses protons due to friction?

Yes, when two substances rub against each other, one may lose electrons (becomes positively charged) while the other gains electrons (becomes negatively charged), leading to static charge buildup. This is due to the transfer of electrons between the substances during the friction process, causing one to become positively charged and the other negatively charged.


Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?

False. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. This balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.


When the distance from a charged particle decreases the strength of the electric field true or false?

True. The strength of the electric field created by a charged particle is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the particle. As the distance decreases, the electric field strength increases.


Is conductions the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing?

false


Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?

In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
