Matter becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons. When an atom is neutral (no charge) it has an equal number of protons and electrons. But when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. When it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged.
Hope I helped! :)
No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.
A neutron is still of neutral charge (no charge). Antimatter can be thought of as protons having a negative charge and electrons having a positive charge. If matter and anti-matter collide they annihilate one another, but neutrons remain.
Normal matter: Proton Anti-matter: Positron
No, the mass of a metal sphere does not change when it is given a positive charge. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and adding a charge does not change the amount of matter present in the sphere. The charge is a property of the particles within the sphere, not the mass itself.
The total charge would be +17 + (-10) = +7.
Electric charge is the property of matter that gives rise to both electricity and magnetism.
The MAJORITY of matter has a net charge of ZERO.

No, not all matter has a charge. Matter can exist in several forms, some of which are charged (ions), while others are neutral. The charge of matter depends on its composition and the balance of protons and electrons within its structure.
The sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA gives it an overall negative charge.
positive charge
All the states of matter have charge. Solid, liquid and gas all have charges of positive or negative.
Friction
The smallest unit of electric charge that occurs in ordinary matter is the charge of an electron, which is approximately -1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.
Dark Matter
Yes, matter is typically charge-neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles (protons and electrons, respectively). This balance of charges allows matter to maintain a neutral overall charge.
an electrical charge is a physical property of matter which causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter
