What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
Is there more protons in and ion than electrons?
Short Answer: The human body (and most other objects) is (are) normally neutral and that means the number of protons is very nearly equal to the number of protons. There will be a few more electron or a few less at any given time based on interactions of the body (or object) with its enviroment, but unless there is a specific process that adds or subtracts a substantial number of electron, the body (the object) will be almost neutral. While it is true that the body is a complex system of electrolytes with positive and negative ions, they balance and the body is still nearly neutral. Another Answer: In all neutral atoms, the number of protons and electrons are equal. When atoms form compounds, they transfer electrons to and from one another, but the total amount of electrons remains the same. If you _did_ have many more protons or electrons, your body would become electrically charged (negatively for an excess of electrons, and positively for an excess of protons). This is indeed what happens when you run your feet through a rug and get a static charge, making your hair stand up and causing you to spark on a doorknob. But normally, the amount of protons and electrons are the same.
An object becomes positively charged if it?
Its number of Protons is more than Electrons
What is a positively charged object?
A positively charged object has an excess of protons relative to electrons. This imbalance of charge causes the object to attract negatively charged particles and repel other positively charged particles.
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
A neutral object can be given a positive charge by transferring electrons away from the object, leaving a deficiency of negative charges. This can be achieved through methods such as rubbing the object with a material that readily donates electrons, causing the neutral object to become positively charged due to the imbalance of charges.
How is it possible for an object to be neutral if it contains millions of electrons?
Although a substance may contain millions of negatively charged electrons, it also contains millions of positively charged protons. The object will be neutral when the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
How is neutral object different from a negatively charged object?
A neutral object has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge. A negatively charged object has an excess of electrons compared to protons, giving it a negative charge.
Why does a neutral object attract a neutral object?
In a electrostatically neutral object there are equal numbers of charged particles (electrons and protons).
How does the number of electrons relate to the number of protons in a neutral atom?
In normal matter, the only charged elementary particles are protons and electrons. An electrically neutral object will have exactly as many protons as electrons. A charged object will have slightly more of one than the other. But under normal conditions, the difference is extremely small compared to the total numbers.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and electrons?
An object with an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral, meaning it has no overall charge. The positive charge of the protons cancels out the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in a balanced electrical state.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object, electrons transfer from the negatively charged object to the neutral object, causing the neutral object to gain electrons. This results in the neutral object becoming negatively charged.
How does an object get a neutral charge?
An object gets a neutral charge when it gains or loses an equal number of protons and electrons, balancing out the positive and negative charges. This can happen through processes like friction, conduction, or induction, where electrons are transferred between objects.
Why is an object electrically neutral?
Something is neutral when there are just as many positive charges as negative charges. A normal atom has just as many positive protons in its nucleus as it has negative electrons orbiting around its nucleus.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
When is an object considered to be neutral?
An object is considered to be neutral when it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of zero. This means that the object is not attracted to or repelled by other charged objects.
What object has neither a positive or negative charge?
When an object has 'no' charge, it is neutral.
