lose an electron
For an atom to become positively charged, it must lose electrons.
However, oxygen is a non-metal and is an anion. Since it only needs one electron to complete its outer shell of valence electrons, it tends to gain electrons rather than lose them and forms covalent bonds (where electrons are shared).

What else can I help you with?
What particles in an atom give its charge?
Protons, they have a positive charge.
What charge does a proton give off?
The proton has one unit of positive charge (+1). There is no reason for it to give off its charge, and it doesn't do that. It just sits there, with its charge intact, being a proton.
When an atom with an electrical charge give a positive and negative charge is what?
I think they connect
Can you ever give something a positive charge by giving it protons?
You can give it a positive charge, but that is mainly done by rubbing something on the surface you'd like to be positive. The thing ( fur, hair, or other material that cause much frictions) will rub away electrons from the surface, causing it to become positive. In a lab you could technically add positive ions to make a material positive, but outside that it can hardly or not at all be done.
How do you calculate the number of electrons for a positively charged particle?
To calculate the number of electrons for a positively charged particle, first determine the magnitude of its positive charge. Since an electron has a charge of approximately -1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs, you can find the number of electrons by dividing the total positive charge of the particle by the charge of a single electron, using the formula: Number of electrons = Total positive charge / |Charge of an electron|. This will give you the number of electrons needed to neutralize the positive charge.
Why this statement is false a neutral object contains no charge?
A neutral object contains equal numbers of positive and negative charges, resulting in no overall charge. This balance of charges cancels out to give the object a net charge of zero.
What kind of charge does an object have when it has given away electrons?
negative
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
A neutral object can be given a positive charge by transferring electrons away from the object, leaving a deficiency of negative charges. This can be achieved through methods such as rubbing the object with a material that readily donates electrons, causing the neutral object to become positively charged due to the imbalance of charges.
Do you have to touch and object to permanently give it a charge?
No, you do not need to touch an object to permanently give it a charge. You can induce a charge on an object through methods like friction, conduction, or induction. This charge can persist on the object even after you remove your contact.
What particles in an atom give its charge?
Protons, they have a positive charge.
What charge does a proton give off?
The proton has one unit of positive charge (+1). There is no reason for it to give off its charge, and it doesn't do that. It just sits there, with its charge intact, being a proton.
What charge does the proton give the nucleus?
POSITIVE.
How can one determine the surface charge density of an object?
To determine the surface charge density of an object, you can divide the total charge on the object by its surface area. This will give you the amount of charge per unit area on the object's surface.
When an atom with an electrical charge give a positive and negative charge is what?
I think they connect
How does an object get a positive or a negative charge?
An object gives up one or more protons to get a positively charged objects and absorbs one or more electrons to get a negatively charged objects. This happens when two objects are rubbed together (ex. when you rub your feet on the carpet to give some one a shock;rubbing balloon on one's hair)
What particles give nucleus its positive charge?
protons
What part of the atom causes the nucleus to have a positive charge?
The protons in the nucleus are positively charged, and their presence is what gives the nucleus an overall positive charge. Electrons balance this positive charge with their negative charge, resulting in a neutral atom.
