A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
By losing electrons.
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
At pH 6.0, the net charge of phosphatidylserine is -1. This is because the phosphate head group is negatively charged and would be deprotonated at this pH, contributing a net charge of -1 to the molecule.
No an electron does not have a net charge of 0, in fact it has a net charge of -1.
The overall net charge of an atom is zero because it contains an equal number of protons, which are positively charged, and electrons, which are negatively charged. The positive charge of protons balances out the negative charge of electrons. Neutrons, which have no charge, do not affect the overall charge. Therefore, in a neutral atom, the total positive and negative charges cancel each other out, resulting in a net charge of zero.
By losing electrons.
Current is the flow of electric charge, not the total charge itself. It is called a net charge because in a circuit the movement of charge is a result of the difference in charges between different points, creating a flow of net charge.
there is no net charge on the capacitor because nomber of positive and negative charge and negetive are equal.
The net charge of a silver ion (Ag+) is +1 because it has lost one electron.
The net charge of a dipole is zero because it consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. This creates a neutral overall charge.
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
No. Neutrons do not have a net charge. They are comprised of two down quarks, each with a charge of -1/3 and one up quark, with a charge of +2/3. These cancel out, for a net charge of zero.Constrast this with the proton, with one down quark, -1/3, and two up quarks, +2/3. for a net charge of +1.
Conservation of charge means that a net electric charge is not created or destroyed. This type of charge is instead transferred from one specific material to another.
A hole in a semiconductor has a net positive charge because it represents the absence of an electron, which has a negative charge. When an electron moves from its position to fill the hole, it leaves behind a positively charged location or "hole." This movement of electrons creates a current flow in the material.
Carbon has a charge of -4 by itself. Each hydrogen atom contributes +1, so the net charge then, is -2.
At pH 6.0, the net charge of phosphatidylserine is -1. This is because the phosphate head group is negatively charged and would be deprotonated at this pH, contributing a net charge of -1 to the molecule.
No. The "n" and "p" does not refer to the negative or positive charge, but to the fact that there are atoms that can easily "donate" electrons (n-type), or atoms that can easily "accept" electrons (p-type).
