Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge.
A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons.

Salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative A True B False?
False - the negatively charged chlorine cancels out the positively charged sodium. Therefore salt is a neutral, uncharged compound.
What layer of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere?
Thermosphere These charged particles comprise the layers of the ionosphere that coexist with the uncharged, or "neutral," atoms and molecules of the thermosphere.
How can you remove completely the excess charge from a small conducting body?
By touching it with an insulating uncharged conductor, the excess charge will then be removed.
How u can remove completely excess of charge from a small conducting body?
By touching it with an insulating uncharged conductor, the excess charge will then be removed.
The atomic number of an atom is also equal to which quantity?
Firstly, an atom is uncharged by definition. If it is charged, that is it has gained or lost electrons, its name is changed to an ion. The atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of that element. And the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
Why does a charged body attract an uncharged body?
The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.
If a electrically uncharged body is contacted by an electrically charged body the uncharged body will?
If an electrically uncharged body is contacted by an electrically charge body then the uncharged body will gain a charge. This is because electricity flows from a higher concentration to a lower concentration and will balance out.
When a charged object polarized another why is there an attraction between the object?
The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.
When an electrically uncharged body is contacted by an electrically charged body the unchargeg body will?
develop the same charge as the charged body
What kind of charge will a uncharged body develop when a positively charged body is brought in contact?
Negative charge.
What are the differences between charged tRNA and uncharged tRNA?
Charged tRNA has an amino acid attached to it, ready for protein synthesis, while uncharged tRNA does not have an amino acid attached. Charged tRNA binds to the appropriate codon on the mRNA during translation, while uncharged tRNA cannot participate in translation.
What happens to an uncharged object when it comes in contact with a charged object.After the object that was charged lost electrons and the uncharged object gained electrons?
It becomes charged. (negatively)
Hot gases containing charged and uncharged atoms and free electrons is?
Hot gases containing charged and uncharged atoms and free electrons is plasma.
At the beginning of the lab for a versorium is the foil negatively charged positively charged or uncharged?
The foil was neutrally charged.
What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an uncharged object?
A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.
What attract when a charged object is brought close to an uncharged object use?
If positively charged body is brought near then opposite charges i.e. negative charges are induced and hence attraction occurs
What are the differences between a charged tRNA and an uncharged tRNA?
Well, charged tRNA means it has an amino acid attached. And a charged tRNA can read the codon of mRNA during translation.the charged tRNA mean that the correct amino acid is attached. uncharged means no amino acid is attached. mischarged means the wrong amino acid is attached. if the wrong amino acid is attached then there may be low levels which can cause misfolded proteins.
