The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?

The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is electric charge. Positive charges are carried by protons, negative charges by electrons.


What are the two charges all matter is made up of?

Protons and electrons are the two charges that all matter is made up of. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge.


Why is matter neutral?

Matter is neutral because it contains equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. These charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for matter.


Is matter usually charge-neutral?

Yes, matter is typically charge-neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles (protons and electrons, respectively). This balance of charges allows matter to maintain a neutral overall charge.


Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?

Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.

The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?

The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is electric charge. Positive charges are carried by protons, negative charges by electrons.


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 positive and negative charges?

Positive and negative charges are fundamental properties of matter. Positive charges are associated with protons, which have a positive electrical charge, while negative charges are associated with electrons, which have a negative electrical charge. Opposite charges attract each other, while like charges repel. This interaction between positive and negative charges is what governs the behavior of electricity and magnetism.


Why does it matter if something is negative or positive in electricity?

(in case of an atoms) negative charges or positive charges will over power the other side and the whole atom will be disorted

How do electrical charges behave?

Electrical charges can either attract or repel each other depending on their polarities. Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other, while opposite charges (positive-negative) attract. The strength of the attraction or repulsion is determined by the amount of charge and the distance between the charges.


Which states of matter has a charge?

All the states of matter have charge. Solid, liquid and gas all have charges of positive or negative.


What is a measure of extra charges that are on an object?

A measure of extra charges on an object is typically referred to as the electric charge. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative, and it is quantified in units of coulombs.


Why does iodine have 53 electrons when it is in group 7?

It does not matter what group an element is in when determining the number of electrons; what matters is the number of protons. If an element has 53 protons, it will have 53 electrons to balance the number of protons. Each proton carries a positive charge of 1, each electron carries a negative charge of 1. In a neutral atom, the number of negative charges always equals the number of positive charges.


Which phase of matter has positive and negative charges flows and is not composed of atoms or molecules?

That sounds like a plasma. In a plasma, most of the atoms are ionized.


How do you multyply integers?

when you have a negative times a negative it will equal a positive but when you have a negative times a positive it will equal a negative no matter what!
