Atomic nuclei have positive electrical charges. The size of the charge depends upon the element in question.

Is the nuclei of atoms electrically positive?

Yes, the nuclei of atoms are electrically positive because they contain protons, which have a positive charge. The positive charge of the protons in the nucleus is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons orbiting around the nucleus.


Comes in two flavors positive and negative?

Electric charge can be positive or negative both on large scales and fundamentally (eg the protons in atomic nuclei have a charge of +1 and the electrons that orbit those nuclei have a charge of -1 [units are arbitrary, if you want derived SI then these charges are +- 1.6*10^-19 C]).You can also think of magnetic north and south poles as being 'positive' and 'negative' although this isn't strictly true.Mathematically of course there are positive and negative numbers where the number -x is defined by the fact that x+(-x)=0.


What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?

What charge electron charge positive or negative?

Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.


Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?

No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.


Do atomic nuclei have neutral charge?

No, they have a positive charge, due to the protons.


What is the difference between a negative and a positive?
