First of all, acknowledge that the charge of one proton (which cannot move) = the charge of an electron (can move). The electrons on that particular atom or object lets say, transfer from itself with the help of extra energy (e.g. friction or mere contact) so then the atom which was once neutral (same number of protons to electrons) and there are more protons than electrons because the electrons just left the atom. This means that there are more positive charges than negative ones, which means there is an overall positive charge, giving a positive electric charge.
What else can I help you with?
Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?
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.
What s a subatomic particle with a positive charge and a mass?
Normal matter: Proton Anti-matter: Positron
Does the mass of a metal sphere change if it is given a positive charge?
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.
What is a positive charge and particles called that have no charge?
A positive charge is a positive electrical charge. Particles with no charge are called neutral particles.
Do the protons carry a positive electrical charge and electrons carry a negative electrical charge?
Yes. Providing that you are talking about normal matter. The anti-matter version in each case has opposite charge.
Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?
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.
When does a piece of matter have a charge?
When a piece of matter has a charge, when some of its protons have been taken away, and another particle gains protons. Also, it can loose electrons, while another particle gains electrons. Basically, all of this creates static elecricity. that is when a piece of matter has a charge. I love science! S.R.
Which states of matter has a charge?
All the states of matter have charge. Solid, liquid and gas all have charges of positive or negative.
What fundamental property of matter is described as positive or negative?
Answer is CHARGE.
The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?
The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is electric charge. Positive charges are carried by protons, negative charges by electrons.
Can you get shock from a piece of metal?
Yes, but only if its current charge is the opposite of your current charge. (ex. being you're currently negative and the piece of metal is positive.)
What is the definition of electrical charge?
Benjamin Franklin was the man that defined negative and positive charge. In the nineteenth century, positive and negative charge was known as vitreous and resinous charge, respectively.Franklin defined negative charge as the charge of a piece of amber after being rubbed against glass.
When does a piece of have a charge?
When a piece of matter has a charge, when some of its protons have been taken away, and another particle gains protons. Also, it can loose electrons, while another particle gains electrons. Basically, all of this creates static elecricity. that is when a piece of matter has a charge. I love science! S.R.
Matter that has an equal amount of positive and negative charge are known as?
Neutral

What are the two charges all matter is made up of?
Protons and electrons are the two charges that all matter is made up of. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge.
What s a subatomic particle with a positive charge and a mass?
Normal matter: Proton Anti-matter: Positron
