I would say, bacteria is positively charged. i suspected it was positively charged also may be, however; if it were to be negatively charged, could it still adsorb through a reversal process to a negative surface (clay for example?)

Why do bacteria tend to stain better with cationic dyes?

Bacteria have negatively charged cell walls, which attract cationic dyes that are positively charged. The interaction between the positively charged dye and the negatively charged cell wall enhances the staining process, making the bacteria more visible under a microscope.

How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.


Does every atom have a negatively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons?

No. Every atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.Unless you are talking about antimatter. The atoms of antimatter have negatively charged nuclei and surrounded by positively charged positrons


Why are basic dyes more successful on bacteria than acidic dyes?

Basic dyes are positively charged and can easily bind to the negatively charged components of bacterial cells, such as the cell wall. This makes them more effective at staining bacteria. Acidic dyes, on the other hand, are negatively charged and repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cells, making them less successful for staining bacteria.
