An isotope has an excess of electrons. This causes the chemical to be negative and able to bond with other things.

When something has a positive charge it has an excess of what elementary particles?

When something has a positive charge, it has an excess of protons compared to electrons. Electrons are negatively charged elementary particles, while protons are positively charged. This imbalance in the number of protons and electrons causes the object to have a net positive charge.


The potential difference of a battery depends on having an excess number of electrons at the negative terminal and a deficient number of electrons at the positive terminal?

That is true but not very - the excess of electrons at the negative terminal is small. The important thing is that if you place a load (radio set, light bulb etc.) on the battery the electrons flow through the load and this movement is supported by energy supplied by chemical action in the battery.


What is the resulting charge of a surface that gains electrons?

Electrons have a negative charge. Therefore, an atom having extra electrons is a negative ion.


Why do atoms with a weak electronegativity like lithium have a weak attractive force for electrons?

they have few valence electrons and aren't close to having eight valence electrons

How do you describe an object that gains excess electrons after being rubbed against another object?

The object is described as negatively charged or having acquired a negative charge. This occurs because it gains excess electrons when rubbed against another object, causing it to have an imbalance of negative charges.


How do you treat deficiency?

by having a balance diet.


What happens to a neutral object if that objects gains electrons?

If a neutral object gains electrons, it will become negatively charged. Excess electrons will create an imbalance in the object's charge, causing it to repel other negatively charged objects and attract positively charged objects.

Cations are formed by?

Cations are formed by atoms losing electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. This occurs when atoms from metals and certain nonmetals give up electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The loss of electrons creates a deficiency of negative charge, leading to a positive charge on the cation.
