How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
What does it mean when an object is charged?
When an object is charged, it either has a surplus or deficiency of electrons. If it has a surplus, the object is negatively charged, and if it has a deficiency, then it is positively charged (has more protons than electrons).
If an atom has 23 protons then how many electrons does it have?
2+, of course. You have two more positively charged protons than negatively charged electrons. Neutrons are, of course, are neutral in charge.
When an object positively charged it has more blank than blank?
If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.
What ions have more electrons than protons?
Atoms that have more electrons than protons are called Anions.
How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?
Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.
What is an object that is positively charge?
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
Is an ion with 8 protons and 10 electrons positively charged?
Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. An ion with 8 protons and 10 electons would have a charge of 2- as there are 2 more electrons than protons.As this ion has 8 protons is must have an atomic number of 8 (oxygen) so the species in question is O2-.If an ion has more protons than electrons it will be positively charged.
An atom that has more protons than electrons?
"Positively charged ions" or cation is the name given to an atom that has lost electrons, i.e. has more protons than electrons.Read more: Atom_with_more_electrons_than_protons
In an ion compound evey ion is attracted to what other ions?
A positively charged ion (cation) is attracted to a negatively charged ion (anion). Cations have more protons than electrons, whereas anions have more electrons than protons. Electrons are negatively charged, and protons are positively charged.
Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?
No; at least, not necessarily. To be positively charged, and object simply needs to contain *more* protons than electrons. Inversely, the same is true of negatively charged objects, which only need to have more electrons than protons.
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
An atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons is called?
More electrons = negatively charged = anion Less electrons = positively charged = cation
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
The type of particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons is an ion. Ions are called cations when they have fewer electrons than protons and anions when they have more.
Would the Lewis structure for a cation contain more electrons or fewer electrons?
It would have fewer electrons. A cation is a positively charged ion which means that there are fewer negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons.
