Positive charges are in protons and negative charges are in electrons. Neutron have neutral charges. In an atom the nucleus has protons and neutrons in it with a positive charge overall. Around the nucleus are electrons in orbitals, probable electron locations, they have a negative charge so the overall charge of an atom is neutral because the number of electrons and the number of protons are equal which is also the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons in an atom subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. These values can be found on the Periodic Table of elements.
What else can I help you with?
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
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.
Electrons carries a positive or negative charge?
Yes, they have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, they are neutral.
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).
Is oxygen's charge positive or negative?
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
What are the subatomic particles of an atom and what are their charges?
Proton - positive charge (+) Neutron - neutral charge (0) Electron - negative charge (-)
What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
What charge electron charge positive or negative?
Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.
Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?
No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.
What is the difference between a negative and a positive?
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Is b a negative or positive charge?
A positive charge
When a proton is positive an electron is?
Negative. Protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
What part of an atom has a negative charge and what was a positive charge?
electrons = negative charge protons = positive charge neutrons = neutral charge
What is the opposite of a negative charge?
The opposite of a negative charge is a positive charge. Positive charges have more protons than electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge.
Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
Is a proton positive or negitve charge?
a proton is a POSITIVE charge, an electron is a negative charge and a neutron is neither positive or negative. a neutron is neutral.
