What describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
The charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred is neutral. This means the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus, resulting in a balanced charge.
To make static electricity what is the only part of the atom that moves?
In static electricity, the only part of the atom that moves is the electrons. When two surfaces rub against each other, electrons can move from one material to the other, leading to a buildup of static charge.
In which compound have electrons been transfered to the oxygen atom?
In the compound hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), electrons have been transferred to the oxygen atom, giving it a partial negative charge.
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What part of an atomis trasferred to provide static charge?
Electrons are the part of an atom that is transferred to provide static charge. When electrons are transferred between objects, one object becomes positively charged (loss of electrons) and the other becomes negatively charged (gain of electrons).
What describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
The charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred is neutral. This means the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus, resulting in a balanced charge.
Why is charge usually transferred by electrons?
Charge is usually transferred by electrons because electrons are the negatively charged particles within an atom that are easily able to move from one atom to another, allowing for the transfer of electrical charge.
Does a number of electrons transferred from or to an atom that makes it an ion is called the oxidation number?
No, the number of electrons transferred from or to an atom that makes it an ion is called the charge of the ion. Oxidation number is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all the bonds in the compound were purely ionic.
To make static electricity what is the only part of the atom that moves?
In static electricity, the only part of the atom that moves is the electrons. When two surfaces rub against each other, electrons can move from one material to the other, leading to a buildup of static charge.
The charge an object has when it has gained electrons?
electric charge
Why does the amount of static charge continue to increase on a glass surface as you rub?
Glass is an insulator and will not allow excess charge to leave, as insulators prevent electrons from flowing freely from atom to atom.
When you brush your hair what of each atom will move out of your hair?
Nothing from each atom will move out. However, repetitious movement can cause static charge to build up in either the comb or the hair. This charge is caused by some of the electrons transfering.
How are the values of coefficient of static and kinetic friction affected by the area of contact?
negative charge.....Reduction of atom reducing the nucleus stratus.
In which compound have electrons been transfered to the oxygen atom?
In the compound hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), electrons have been transferred to the oxygen atom, giving it a partial negative charge.
What causes static electricity in things that don't conduct electricity?
All matter, including non-conductors contain protons (which have a + charge) neutrons ( which have no or 0 charge) and electrons (which have a - charge) The protons and neutrons are 'wrapped up' in the middle of the atom, the nucleus, and so do are not able to move, but the electrons go around the outside of the atom, they orbit the nucleus like our planet orbits the sun, these can move. If some of the electrons are removed by rubbing a non-conductor then it gains an overall + charge as there is still the same number of protons (+) but now less electrons (-). The reverse is also true if electrons are transferred to a non-conductor then it will have more electrons (-) than protons (+) and therefor have an overall - charge. Science-teacher.
Why does the amount of static charge continue to increase on a glass surface as you rub it?
Rubbing the glass surface creates friction, which causes the transfer of electrons between the glass and the material rubbing against it. This transfer of electrons leads to an accumulation of static charge on the glass surface. The more rubbing that occurs, the greater the charge build-up on the glass.
