What is the scientific word for positive and negative charges?
positive and negative charges.... there is no other term... unless you want to get technical and describe what is happening in the metals Protons are positive Electrons are negative BTW neutrons are neutral OR You could also be talking about what ^ is talking about those >I think< are called cathodes and anodes
What is the trem for an atom with an unequal number of protons an electrons?
An atom with an unequal number of protons and electrons is referred to as an ion. If it has more protons than electrons, it is called a cation and carries a positive charge. Conversely, if it has more electrons than protons, it is known as an anion and carries a negative charge.
What is negative and positive in NaCl?
No. It is a compound consisting of sodium ions and chloride ions.
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as what?
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as polyatomic ions. These ions are composed of multiple atoms that are covalently bonded together, but have an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons. They can have a positive or negative charge depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged it is referred to as?
When atoms either lose or gain electrons they are referred to as ions.
What is a balanced sharing of electrons and neither atom has a slight negative or positive charge thir bond is referred to as what?
it's convent

Is it possible for an atom to be not neutral?
Yes, an atom that is not neutral (that is, it is either positive or negative) is referred to as an ion. Ions containing MORE protons than electrons are considered "positive". Ions containing LESS protons than electrons are considered "negative".
What is an ion with more electrons than protons?
When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged. The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (protons).
Why is it the whole atom has no charge?
Because unlike charges attract, like charges repel. When atoms have a charge they are referred to as 'ions'. If the atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it will have no charge because the positive protons and negative electrons cancel each other out. If the atom's protons and electrons are unequal in number, the atom is referred to as either a 'positive ion' or a 'negative ion', as applicable.
What are the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions in metallic bonding?
They are just referred to as "delocalized" electrons
In metalic bonds what are the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions called?
They are just referred to as "delocalized" electrons
What is the trem for an atom with an unequal number of protons an electrons?
An atom with an unequal number of protons and electrons is referred to as an ion. If it has more protons than electrons, it is called a cation and carries a positive charge. Conversely, if it has more electrons than protons, it is known as an anion and carries a negative charge.
What are particles that loses electrons and acquires a positive scrag?
These are referred to as ions, of which they are two types. Cations and Anions, the first (CATION) being the result of a particle that looses one or more electrons and gains a positive charge and the latter being the opposite; gaining thus becoming negative (ANION)
What is an atom that has more electrons than normal referred to as?
An atom with extra (a higher number than that of its protons) electrons is an anion. An atom with a lower count than its protons is a cation. They are often reffered to as positive (cation) or negative (anion) Ions. An Ion is defined as a charged particle.
What is the positive and negative ends of a power source called?
The positive end of a power source is called the "anode," while the negative end is referred to as the "cathode." In batteries, the anode is where oxidation occurs, releasing electrons, and the cathode is where reduction takes place, accepting those electrons. This flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode generates electric current. The terms can vary in different contexts, such as in electrochemical cells versus electronic components.
If an atom has both positive and negative particles how can it be neutral?
The particles with charge within atoms are protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). The charge on a single electron is equal in magnitude to the charge on a single proton. Thus if there are equal numbers of protons and neutrons in an atom, the charge of that atom will be zero/neutral. For example, a carbon atom always has 6 protons (definitive of carbon). If it also has 6 electrons, it will be neutral! Oxygen atoms have 8 protons. If they also have 8 electrons, they will be neutral. The positive and negative charges cancel each other out. For example, with oxygen..... +8 for the protons and -8 for the electrons (remember each single proton's charge is equal in magnitude to that of a single electron's).......add them together and.......+8 + (-8) and you get 0. Neutral! (Atoms are not neutrally charged if they have different numbers of protons and electrons. If the number of protons and electrons differ in an atom, the atom is referred to as an ion.)
