Would an electron move toward the positive plate or negative plate?

First of all this isn't a question about Plate Tectonics . Plate tectonics is the behavior of the big geographical areas in which the world is divided in, known as plates.
But, answering your question, an election is a negative charge and thus will be attracted to the positive plate.

Do antimatter has the same electrical charge and magnetic characteristics?
Magnetic characteristics would remain the same. However, all electrical charge would be reversed. The Positron or anti-electron has a positive charge and an anti-proton has a negative charge.
What would be the electrical charge of fluorine atom that gained an electron?
It would be -1 because gaining an electron will create a negative charge. F has a high electron affinity and therefore becomes an F- ion quite readily.
When a beam of alpha particles passes between two electrically charged plates - which plate is the beam deflected toward?
The beam would be deflected to the negative plate, as alpha particles are Helium nuclei and are positively charged.
What type of bond would you expect potassium to form?
ionic; it would donate one electron and carry a positive charge
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
If an atom gains an electron would it have a negative or positive charge?
it would have a negative charge
Is an electron negative?
Unless its positive, in which case it would be a positron which is antimatter.
Atomic paticle which has no charge?
A neutron, ie. neutral, Where a proton would be positive, and an electron, negative.
Do electrons have a Negative Charge or a positive charge?
They are ALWAYS negatively charged. If positively charged it would be a positron and not an electron.
How would you describe the electron theory?
The belief that electricity flows out from a negative source seeking a positive conclusion.
The Subatomic particle of an atom with negative change?
that would be an electron, protrons are positive and nutrons you guessed it neutral
Would you expect the second electron gain enthalpy of O as positive more negative or less negative than the first Justify your answer?
The second electron gain of an oxygen atom would be expected to be less negative. The reason for this outcome is that the oxygen atom gaining a second electron already has one electron and thus a negative charge. This negative charge repels the second electron to some extent, making the enthalpy of this process less negative than when the first electron was added to the neutral oxygen atom.
Would chlorine fom a positive or a negative ion?
Chlorine will form a negative ion with a charge of -1 because it gains one electron to complete its octet.
What is the charge of an element if it loses an electron?
It depends on the charge on the atom at the start before it gains an electron. The electron has a charge of -1, and will make an atom more negative or less positive (both of which are the same thing). Let's look at the possibilities. If an atom is neutral (zero net charge) and gains an electron, it has a net charge of -1. If an atom is at +1 and gains an electron, it has a net charge of zero. If an atom has any positive charge, p, above +1, it has a net charge of p - 1. (A +5 would become a +4, and a +3 would become a +2.) If an atom has any negative charge, n, then its net charge becomes n - 1. (A -4 would become a -5, and a -2 would become a -3.)
When subtracting a negative and a positive your answer would be a positive?
If you are subtracting the negative from the positive, the answer will be positive. If you are subtracting the positive from the negative, the answer will be negative.
What determines which one of the terminal of a rheostat in positive when connected in a series?
Electron flow is from negative(-) to positive(+), the rheostat would have to be on the negative side for the device being controled, before the device, e.g. light bulb.AnswerIt doesn't matter. Rheostats don't have positive or negative terminals.
When you multiply a positive number by a negative by a negative one what is the sign of the answer?
A negative times a positive is a negative and that negative times a negative would = a positive. So the answer would be a positive number. *<:)
