If there were no electrons, there would also be no solid matter. Atomic nuclei, if they could still exist in the absence of electrons, would repel all other atomic nuclei since they would all be positively charged, so the only state of matter that could exist would be some form of gas. Chances are, a universe made only of gas would be less interesting than the one we now inhabit.

What would happen if electrons went the opposite way?

If electrons went the opposite way they might change their polarity.


What would happen if carbon had 7 electrons?

Then it would not be an atom, but a non-existing Carbon anion (-1, negatively charged)


What would happen if protons and electrons were not attracted to each other?

If protons and electrons were not attracted to each other, atoms as we know them would not exist. The attraction between protons and electrons is what holds atoms together and allows for the formation of molecules. Without this attraction, matter as we know it would not be stable or structured.


What happen to the movement of electrons if you ground a possitively charged object?

When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground will flow into the object to neutralize the positive charge. This movement of electrons will cause the object to become neutral in charge.


What would happen to the atom if there were no electrons?

there wont be any negative charges to balance the positive nucleus, hence atoms wont be stable


What has 2 electrons then 8 electrons then 6 electrons?

An atom with 2 electrons would be helium, an atom with 8 electrons would be oxygen, and an atom with 6 electrons would be carbon.


What has to happen in order for an atom to lose two electrons?

The contact with an atom having a high affinity for electrons.


While producing x rays what would happen if you use protons insted of electrons?

X-rays do not consist of electrons. They are electromagnetic waves. Just like more energetic visible light waves that we can see.


What would happen if you replaced all the electrons in the human body with positrons?

If all the electrons in the human body were replaced with positrons, the positrons would annihilate with nearby electrons, creating gamma radiation. This would lead to immediate destruction of the body's molecular structure and result in a catastrophic event, causing severe harm or death.


What will happen if electrons flow from positive to negative?

It wouldn't happen. Negatives go to positives and vice versa.


If calcium lost two electrons it would have the same number of electrons as?

If calcium lost two electrons, it would have the same number of electrons as argon. Calcium has 20 electrons in its neutral state, and losing two electrons would leave it with 18 electrons, which is the same as argon.


What would happen if you took out electrons from a fishtank?

The tank would become positively charged. This means that is you dipped a wire in the fish tank and attached it to the ground, you would get a DC current as electrons move from the neutral (more negative, electron-rich) ground to the positive (more positive, electron-poor) fish tank.
