All atoms have the same overall charge with the exception of ionization (electrons are lost or gained). since there are the same amount of protons and electrons in an atom, the negative and positive cancel each other out.

Which water molecule has a partial positive charge?

In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen, pulling electron density towards itself and creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.


What kind of charge would the hydrogen atoms have compared to the oxygen?

I'm assuming you mean when they're bonded to each other - oxygen is more electronegative, so it will have a partial negative charge, and hydrogen will have a partial positive charge.


What is the opposite of a negative charge?

The opposite of a negative charge is a positive charge. Positive charges have more protons than electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge.


What contains a positive charge hydrogen-ions hydroxide-ions electrons or neutrons?

Hydrogen ions are H+Hydroxide ions are OH-neutrons are written n and have no chargeelectrons are written e- and have a negative charge.So only hydrogen ions, H+, has a positive charge.


A substance has 34 positive charges and 34 negative charges what is the overall charge?

The substance has an overall charge of zero because the number of positive charges is equal to the number of negative charges, resulting in a neutral charge.


How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?

If an object has both positive and negative charges in different regions, it can still have an overall neutral charge if the total amount of positive charge is equal to the total amount of negative charge. This results in a cancellation of the charges, making the object neutral overall.


What is the charge of each of the subatomic particles in hydrogen?

The charge of the proton is positive while the charge of the electron is negative. This keeps the atom together. Unlike most atoms, the hydrogen atoms have only two particles in them.


What charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?

The object would have a negative charge if it has more negative particles than positive particles. This is because the excess negative particles result in an overall negative charge.


Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?

The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.


What is the charge on HClO?

A positive 5 charge, because there are 3 oxygens with a negative 2 charge, we know this because in almost every case Oxygen has a negative 2 charge. Making oxgen have a total negative 6 charge, and we know the molecule ClO3 have a negative one charge, thus making Cl to have a positive 5 chage to make the overall charge negative 1. To make sure, we know that hydrogen has a positive 1 charge, and since there is only 1 H atom we know that ClO3 has a negative 1, from which, shows we have done the work right, proving Cl has a positive 5 charge.


Will a plastic comb with extra electrons have a positive charge?

No the answer is that it has an negitive charge


What is the charge of the SiO2 molecule?

The charge of the SiO2 molecule is neutral, meaning it has no overall positive or negative charge.
