What are the negative and positive charges in clouds called?
the positive and negative charges in clouds are the protons and electrons formed from the friction of the water that condensated to make the cloud.
How many electrons does silicon have at no charge?
Silicon's atomic number is 14, meaning it has 14 protons. Each of these protons carries a charge of +1, thus silicon has 14 positive charges in it. So, in order for it to have no charge, it must be balanced by 14 negative charges; therefore, neutral silicon has 14 electrons.
Why does Nitrate have a negative charge?
Nitrate has a negative charge because Nitrogen and Oxygen both have negative charges. Electrons are negative and Protons are positive. You can never gain or lose protons, only electrons. Because Nitrogen wants, as all elements do, to have a full shell of outer (valence) electrons so that it can have the same arrangement as its closest noble gas (Neon), Nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons. If you have 0 + -3 then what do you have? A negative number. It is the same for electrons because they have a negative charge. If you gain electrons, then you end up with more negative atomic particles than positive atomic particles (protons). Why you have a negative charge is because you have gained a negitive particle, the electron. Going from neutral (having the same protons as electrons) to negative (having more electrons than protons). Hope that wasn't too confusing. -Jahna
What does positive and negative charges make?
They stem from the nucleus of an atom. The atom is composed of electrons, which emit a negative charge, protons which emit positive charges and neutrons which have a neutral charge. When an atom, had a plus positive or minus negative charged, it is called an ion. ion because it either has an extra electron giving it a negative charge, or its missing an electron, giving it a positive charge
If Ca has a 2 negative charge how many protons does it have?
It has 20 protons, irrespective of its charge.
Do protons or neutrons have negative charges?
Neither (protons are positive and neutrons are neutral).an electron has a negative charge
Why electrons are attracted to protons?
Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.
Does protons have a positive or a negative charge?
protons are positive charges opposite of neutrons
What is the definition of atomic charges?
The difference between the positive charges (protons) and the negative charges (electrons).
What are the charges of protonsneutronselectrons?
protons: positiveneutrons: noneelectrons: negative
What are the electrical charges of protons and electrons?
Protons are positive, remember pro is +. Electrons are negative.
What is the charges for protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons are positive, Neutrons have no charge elections are negative
What contains electrical charges in atom?
Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.
Who describe the atom as negative charges scattered though a ball of positive charges?
protons
WHAT Are the two types of electric charges found on electrons and protons?
Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.
Does an atom have more positive charges than negative charges?
No , an atom always has equal numbers of protons and electrons. If it has more charges of one kind than another is called an ion. Obviously this is caused by the number of protons and electrons compared to each other. If it has more positive charges, it has more protons than electrons, making it a positive ion. If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
What particles have negative electric charges equal to the positive charges of the protons?
The electrons; their negativity cancels out the protons' positivity so the atom is electrically neutral.
