Cations, positively charged atoms e.g. Na+. The positive charges are the protons min the nucleus and the negative charges are electrons.

What objects with equal amounts of positive and negative charge are said to be electrically?

An object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge is electrically neutral.


Compounds that have the same number of positive and negative charges are said to be?

Compound having any positive or negative particle are said to be charged particle . it is not so that there should be same number of positive or negative infact these are called saturated particle .an atom carring positive particle are called cationwhile negative particle are called anionby MK


The overall charge of the nucleus is?

The overall charge of a nucleus is positive. The nucleus is consisted of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have a neutral charge. Electrons have a negative charge but are located in the shell orbiting the nucleus, so their charge is not included in the nucleus' charge. Since the only particles in the nucleus either have a positive or neutral charge, the nucleus will always be positive.


What are the charges of each part of an atom?

The nucleus of the atom has a positive charge because the protons that found in the nucleus are positive and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons on the electron cloud have a negative charge. This means the entire atom has a neutral charge to it. The atom always has the same number of protons and electrons, which means they cancel their charges out.


Why doesnt An atom has no electrical charge?

because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0

Do atoms have a higher number of positive charges or negative?

Normally atoms are neutral.


What is true about the number of positive and negative charges in a charged object?

A charged object can have an unequal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge. An object with more positive charges than negative charges will have a positive net charge, and vice versa for negative charges.


Negative PLUS a positive equals?

It is a negative if the negative number has the higher absolute value and positive if the positive number has the higher absolute value.


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 is total positive charges and negative are equal?

When the total positive charges are equal to the total negative charges in an atom or a molecule, the overall charge is neutral. This means that the number of protons (positive charges) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charges), resulting in a balanced electrical charge.


Does atoms have higher number of positive charges than negative charges?

Atoms are neutral, therefore having an equal amount of protons (1 positive charge) and electrons (1 negative charge). eg. 7 electrons= 7 protons


How do you make a negative number a positive number?

Multiply it by another negative number. Or add a higher positive number to it.


What does a neutral solution have an equal number of?

Positive and negative charges.


A substance has 34 positive charges and 34 negative charges what is the overall charge?

The substance has an overall charge of zero because the number of positive charges is equal to the number of negative charges, resulting in a neutral charge.


How can ionic compounds be neutral if they consist of positive and negative ions?

Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.


When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integers?

When the absolute value of the negative number is higher than the positive number.
