What else can I help you with?
The part of the atom that has a positive charge is a?
This particle is the proton.
What is a charged particle that accounts for nearly half the mass of an atom?
The proton.The proton is a particle of the nucleus (a nucleon) of charge +1. Neutrons are nucleons with no charge, are slightly more massive than a proton, and are part of every atomic nucleus except for the simplest, Hydrogen (there are exceptions, of course, in deuterium and tritium, but here we will keep to simple Hydrogen.)Electrons are tiny by comparison, and are not a part of the nucleus. They "orbit" at some distance. They provide the -1 charge to balance the charge of a proton, but they have a very low mass, 1/1836 that of a proton.Except for the atom Hydrogen, where the proton is practically all the mass of the atom, the proton is the charged particle which accounts for nearly half of the mass of any atom.
What happens to an element if it becomes a cation?
Cations are formed when elements lose electrons. Then they get positively charged.
A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?
When a particle loses electrons, it becomes positively charged due to having more protons than electrons. Conversely, if a particle gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons. This imbalance in charge leads to the formation of a charged particle.
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
What are positively charged subatomic particle called?
Strictly speaking, there is more than one kind of large, positively charged subatomic particle, but the one that matters the most is the proton.
What are large positively charged subatomic particles called?
Strictly speaking, there is more than one kind of large, positively charged subatomic particle, but the one that matters the most is the proton.
The part of the atom that has a positive charge is a?
This particle is the proton.
A positively charged particle of an element such as Na and Ca?
Positively charged particles of elements like Na and Ca are called cations. These cations form when the atoms lose one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. This charge is balanced by an equal number of negatively charged electrons in the surrounding environment.
A particle in the nucleus of an atom it has a positive electrical charged and is 2000 times the mass of the electron?
proton there is no such thing as an electrical charged nut there is such a thing as a charged particle, that is also known as neutron

A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of what?
A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of one or more electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because there are more protons than electrons in the atom, creating an overall positive charge.
Is an object that is positively charged contains all proton and no electron?
No that is wrong. that compound has more protons than electrons.
What is a particle that loses electrons and acquires a positive charge?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons and thus became a positively charged particle.
What are some examples of an electric charge?
Proton are positively charged subatomic particles in an atom. When atom loses electron(s), there will be more protons compared to electrons and therefore it form positive ion (positive particle). Alpha particles (radiation) is also positively charged
A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?
When a particle loses electrons, it becomes positively charged due to having more protons than electrons. Conversely, if a particle gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons. This imbalance in charge leads to the formation of a charged particle.
