because oppisites attract. The power from the plants below the cloud pull the - charges down and the + charges goes up and that also causes lighting wow im 12 and i know this

What particles are found the nucleus and what charge does the nucleus have?

Protons and neutrons are in nucleus.Protons are possitively charged while neutrons are uncharged.


One helium atom has how many electrons?

It depends on the charge of the atom/ion however in a no-charged state Helium will have 2 electrons. If the Helium is charged negatively will have more. If it is charged possitively (up to 2+) it will have less. As Helium is a noble gas, it is rarely found in a charged state!


Does ground to ground lightning exist?

While lightning typically goes from a cloud to the ground and does rarely move upward from the ground, going from one part of the earth to another is unnecessary. Given a piece of negatively charged ground and another positively charged one, the path of least resistance would be through the ground rather than through the air.


How are Subatomic Particles involved in Lightning?

Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles. When you have a cloud that at the top of it is most negativity charged and the bottom is positively charged and it rolls over a point in the ground that is negatively charged this causes lightening and actually lightening goes from the ground up to the clouds not from the clouds to the ground as believed - the lightning is composed of a stream of electrons


What causes the ground to become positivly charged?

The ground can become positively charged primarily through the process of electron transfer, often due to the movement of charged particles in the atmosphere during events like thunderstorms. When lightning strikes, it can strip electrons from the ground, leading to a net positive charge. Additionally, processes such as friction, as seen in triboelectric effects, can also contribute to the ground gaining a positive charge by transferring electrons away from the surface.

When electrons are lost the ion will be?

a cation or possitively charged


What happen to the movement of electrons if you ground a possitively charged object?

When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground will flow into the object to neutralize the positive charge. This movement of electrons will cause the object to become neutral in charge.


What is the total amount of charge a nucleus carries?

It depend upon number of protons.It is always possitively charged.

What happens when an atom loses a electron from its outermost shell?

It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.


Why does a charged object lose its charge when it touched to the ground?

When a charged object touches the ground, electrons can flow from the object to the ground or vice versa, depending on the net charge. This equalization of charges with the ground neutralizes the object, causing it to lose its charge.


What is the negatively charged terminal of a battery called?
