In the case of potential energy, what matters is the difference in potential energy. Any "absolute potential energy" is an arbitrary definition. If you define a certain reference height as "zero height" and therefore "zero potential energy", anything above that would have a positive potential energy (as compared to the reference height), anything lower would have a negative potential energy. In Astronomy, for conveniencen, two objects at an infinite distance are often defined as having zero potential energy - thus, by definition, anything closer by would have a negative potential energy.

Why is electronic energy negative?

The charge on an electron is negative (by International Convention) - so electron energy is too


What is acidic electro power?

The positively charged fruit attracts the negative energy from acidic fruits. Building up a negative charge that can be repelled in the form of electronic energy.


What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electronic In its outer energy shell?

It becomes a negative ion.


What will be the total energy of atom having negative nucleus and positive electron?

The total energy of an atom with a negative nucleus and positive electron will be negative, given that the electron is bound to the nucleus through electrostatic attraction. This negative energy results from the potential energy associated with the attraction between the oppositely charged particles.


How can you convert electronic energy to electrical energy?

If, by electronic energy, you mean electrons then you don't convert it- that's what it is. Electricity is the flow of electrons from a negative terminal to a positive. In a wire it is delocalised electrons which are free to move


Is there any equipment to convert electronic to electrical energy?

There is no such thing as "electronic energy". Electronic devices use normal electrical energy.


How can you tell if an electronic is an energy saver?

you can tell if an electronic is an energy saver by looking for the energy star.


What is negative potential energy and how does it affect the overall energy of a system?

Negative potential energy is a concept in physics where an object has less energy when it is in a certain position compared to a reference point. This can affect the overall energy of a system by reducing the total energy available for the system to use.


When is change in energy always negative?

A change in energy is always negative when an object loses energy, such as when work is done against friction or when heat is transferred away from the system. This results in a decrease in the object's total energy.


Does fruits have acidic electro power?

Yes, fruits do have acidic electro power just like lemons and oranges. Acidic electro power is the positivly charged fruit attracts the negative energy from acid fruits.Building up a negative charge that can be repelled in the form of electronic energy.


What kind of electronic charge does an atom have?

negative


The negative ion F has the same electronic configuration as the positive ion?

The negative ion F has the same electronic configuration as the positive ion Ne. This is because the negative ion F gains an electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, similar to the stable electronic configuration of the noble gas Ne.
