Protons contribute positive charges to atoms, while electrons contribute negative charges. An atom will have an overall positive charge if it has more protons than it does electrons. This most commonly occurs when an atom loses an electron or two, like what is common with alkaline and earth metals.
What else can I help you with?
How do atoms change into positive ions?
Atoms become positive ions when they lose an electron in a reaction. An electron is negative and a proton is positive, so when the atom loses an electron it will have more positive than negative, and the atom will be a positive ion. The atoms at the left of the periodic table usually lose electrons in reactions.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
Where is a positive located in a atom?
in its neutral state atoms are positive the protons in the nucleus are positive
Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Is a positive proton in an atom attracted to other positive atoms?
what is the positive reason for a split atom
Is it true that an anion is any atom or group of atoms with a positive change?
false

Which particles in atoms have a positive charge?
Protons have a positive charge in atoms.
Do neutral atoms stick to positive atoms?
By extreme heat and pressure, neutral atoms stick to positive atoms. Such as in Nuclear fission/ fusion.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
If neutral atoms become positive ions they?
have lost electrons
What are atoms OR groups of atoms with a positive OR negative charge?
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
What happened when you change a neutral atom into a positive charged atom?
Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose the valence electrons.
Where is a positive located in a atom?
in its neutral state atoms are positive the protons in the nucleus are positive
Do atoms have a net positive charge?
No they do not.
Why are atoms untrustworthy?
Because they are not positive.
