Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]

correct electrons are the negative (-) charges of a atom, as neutrons are neutral charges and protons are the positive (+) charges of the atom, but i dont think they asked the correct question and has errors in the typing making it hard to understand.

What particle within an atom vibrates to generate electromagnetic radiation?

Vibrate is the wrong word. A charged particle must under go acceleration in order to emit an electromagnetic wave. Usually this happens when an electron 'jumps' from a high energy state to a low energy state.


Were is the charged particle flow in a permanent magnet?

I believe it is in the material. It says that everything has charged particles in it. It also says that in order for a material to be magnetic, then, its atoms have to line up in a certain way so that the electrons in the material all have the same general motion. So if it's a permanent magnet, then the charged particles would be in the material.


What did Rutherford discover atoms?

Rutherford by passing interpretation about the famous alpha particle scattering experiment came to the conclusion that the positively charged nucleus is of small size of the order of 10-15 m where as the atom size is of the order of 10-11m


In what way does the photoelectric effect support the particle theory of light?

In order for an electron to be ejected from a metal surface, the electron must be struck by a photon with at least the minimum energy needed to knock the electron loose.


Did Ca plus plus gain an electron to produce the charge?

Ca2+ is positively charged. Remember that an electron is a particle with negative charge; therefore, the element Calcium (Ca) has LOST 2 electrons in order to be positive 2.

Why does Zn have a charge of 2 plus?

It is because both of them belong to the same group and have only 2 electrons in their valence shell.Therefore, they tend to loose them in order to attain stable electronic configuration.Doing this they form +2 charged ions.


What is judicial custody?

Judicial custody is when you are held by order of a judge and are not necessarily charged with anything.Police custody is when you are charged with something and are in the custody of the police.


How is it possible that negatively charged beta particles are emitted from a positively charged nucleus during nuclear decay?

An electron (negative particle) and an electron neutrino (neutral particle) are released when a neutron (neutral particle) changes into a proton(positive particle) therefore in order for neutral charge to create a positive particle it also has to create a negative particle to balance it out.As a significant amount of binding energy is released, the electron is ejected at high velocity as beta radiation while the much more massive nucleus containing the newly created proton recoils with very low velocity. The neutrino having almost no mass is ejected at almost the speed of light, but is nearly impossible to detect except by implication from the "missing momentum".Basically beta particles are ejected from the nucleus by conservation of momentum before and after the decay event.
