Any atom will have a net positive charge if it loses electrons (the negative particles in the atom). The reason is the atom now has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges) so it becomes a positive ion. Although, through various processes, many different atoms can be stripped of one or more electrons and thus take on a positive charge, the elements on the left side of the Periodic Table, in the first two columns, are the ones that tend to give up electrons during chemical reactions so they are positive ions; also called cations in ionic bonding.
The proton is the subatomic particle of the atom that carries a positive charge.
when an atom loses an electron it becomes positive because it just lot a negetive part to its structure. The name given to these positively charged particles is Cation
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
The proton of an atom carries the positive charge.
Proton
an atom has a positive charge due to the fact that it has a positive
Proton.
The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The charge of an atom overall is neutral, as the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) in a neutral atom.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
the positively charged part of an atom is called proton
The proton is the subatomic particle of the atom that carries a positive charge.
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
Positive charge: cationNegative charge: anion
Ion... Anion, negative charge... Cation, positive charge
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
The subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge.
