Because in an unbalanced system, the positive end a positive charge, and the negaticve end has a negative charge. Though current (which is reletive to the "positiveness" of an area) flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.
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.
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
Nitrogen isotopes do not have a specific positive or negative charge. The charge of an isotope depends on the number of protons and electrons it has relative to each other. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is balanced by the number of electrons (negative charge).
Molecules that have partially positive and negative regions are called polar molecules. Polarity results from an unequal attraction of electrons between the atoms that make up a molecule. The electrons are more drawn towards atoms with a higher electronegativity, thus making these atoms partially negative.
Yes, lightning typically occurs between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds. It is caused by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, resulting in a discharge of electricity to balance the charges.
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.
The two types of electric charge are positive and negative. Positive charges repel each other, as do negative charges, while opposite charges attract each other.
A balance of negative and positive charges is called neutrality. This occurs when the total negative charge is equal to the total positive charge, resulting in a system that is electrically neutral.
Voltage.
An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
This would be called a CATION.
positive and negative charges.... there is no other term... unless you want to get technical and describe what is happening in the metals Protons are positive Electrons are negative BTW neutrons are neutral OR You could also be talking about what ^ is talking about those >I think< are called cathodes and anodes
That is the electric energy. It is called the electricity
Old (very old) tradition, when electricity was assumed to flow from positive to negative. (They hadn't figured out electrons yet.)
static charge
Yes, an ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. A positive ion is called a cation, while a negative ion is called an anion.
A buildup of electric charges is called static electricity. This occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges on an object, leading to the potential for a discharge of electricity.
