The atom will have a positive charge, because the number of protons in the nucleus hasn't changed but there are fewer negatively charged electrons to neutralize the positive charge from the nucleus.

Are electrons positive or negative in aluminium?

Electrons are negatively charged particles, and they are negative in aluminum as well. Aluminum atoms have 13 protons (positive charge) in their nucleus and 13 electrons (negative charge) surrounding the nucleus.


What charges do proton an electrons have?

Pprotons have a positive charge neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. However the one with the smallest mass is electrons.


What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?

What determines the overall charge of an element if an electron charge is negative and a proton has a positive charge?

The overall charge of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, resulting in no overall charge.


If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?

If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!


Are electrons characterized by a positive or negative charge?

Electrons are characterized by a negative charge.


If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?

Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.


What kind of charge positive or negative do electrons carry?

Electrons carry a negative charge.


Electrons carries a positive or negative charge?

Yes, they have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, they are neutral.


What charge electron charge positive or negative?

Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.


What is the charge of an ion formed by an element on the periodic table?

The charge of an ion formed by an element on the periodic table is determined by the number of electrons gained or lost by the element. This charge can be positive or negative, depending on whether the element loses or gains electrons.
