If electrons leave an object it becomes positive. If an object gains electrons it becomes positive. If it has the same types of charges with the same amount it becomes neutral.

What subatomic particle is removed or added to the amber?

Electrons are typically the subatomic particles that are either removed or added to amber through the process of static electricity buildup. When electrons are transferred to or from the amber, it becomes negatively or positively charged, respectively.


Where are electrical charges in an atom?

Unless they are ions, atoms are neutrally charged. The negatively charged electrons orbitting the nucleus neutralized the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. neutrons do not have an electrical charge. ions are the exception to this, as they have either added or removed orbitting electrons. if an atom has electrons removed, then it is a positively charged cation. most metals form positively charged ions. if electrons are added, then it is a negatively charged anion. most non-metals form negatively charged ions.


What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?

An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.


Why if you take an electron way from another the atom shows up positive?

If you take an electron away from an atom that is neutrally charged (has no charge) then because electrons are negatively charged the atom will become positive. For example if you have 5 protons 5 neutrons and 5 electrons then the electrons and protons cancel one another out. (+5-5=0) take away an electron and there are only four electrons and five protons leaving one positively charged molecule making the atom positive. (+5-4=+1)


When outer electrons are removed do they become statically charged?

Yes, when outer electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes positively charged. This is because removing negative electrons leaves behind a surplus of positive charge in the form of the remaining protons in the nucleus.

What particle is transferred when a neutral object is charged?

Electrons are transferred when a neutral object is charged. If electrons are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged, and if electrons are removed, it becomes positively charged.


What happens if electrons go missing or get added to an atom?

If electrons are added to an atom, it becomes negatively charged as there are more negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons. If electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes positively charged as there are more positively charged protons than negatively charged electrons. This imbalance in charge can affect the atom's chemical reactivity and overall stability.


How does a object become negatively charged?

if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo

What is the meaning of statically charged?

To be statically charged means that an object has more of one type of particles than another. For example, if an object with more electrons than protons is negatively charged so we say that the object has built up a static charge.

A negatively charged atom or group of atoms?

Unless they are ions, atoms are neutrally charged.

What is happening when you make an object charged?

When you make an object charged, you have either added or removed electrons from it. Adding electrons makes it negatively charged, and removing electrons makes it positively charged. Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge.


When outer electrons are removed do they become statically charged?

Yes, when outer electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes positively charged. This is because removing negative electrons leaves behind a surplus of positive charge in the form of the remaining protons in the nucleus.


What charge will the atom assume if electrons are torn away from a neutral atom?

If electrons are removed from a neutral atom, what remains is a positively charged ion.
