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.
What else can I help you with?
Which particle of the atom has a positive charge?
The proton is the subatomic particle of the atom that carries a positive charge.
What is the charge and the name given to an atom that loses electrons?
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
What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
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.
Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?
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.
This part of an atom carries a positive charge?
The proton of an atom carries the positive charge.
What is the name for an atom with a positive charge?
Proton
Why does nucleus of an atom have a positive charge?
an atom has a positive charge due to the fact that it has a positive
What is the name of the positive charge particle in the center of an atom?
Proton.
Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an atom?
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.
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
What is the positive charge in an atom called?
the positively charged part of an atom is called proton
Which particle of the atom has a positive charge?
The proton is the subatomic particle of the atom that carries a positive charge.
An atom with a positive net charge is called?
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.
What is the atom which has positive and negative charge?
Positive charge: cationNegative charge: anion
In chemistry the name given to a charged atom is?
Ion... Anion, negative charge... Cation, positive charge
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is the name for the subatomic particle in an atom that has no 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.
