An object becomes charged when the atoms in the object gain or lose?
A) protons
B) neutrons
C) electrons
D)All of the above
Answer (1) - Wrong
My answer is most definitely D) All Of Above
Answer (2) - Right
A) and B) because if we assume an object to be neutral at first then if we lose a proton (positively charged) the object becomes negatively charged, if we lose an electron (negatively charged) the object becomes positively charged. Neutrons have no net charge (neutrally charged) so if we take on away nothing happens.

∙ 14y agoA molecule usually gaines or looses electrons from its most outter shell so if it gains electros it becomes negatively charged and if it looses it becomes positively charged because then it would have more protons then electrons. This causes a molecule to become an ion.

How does a object become negatively charged?
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
Predict what would happen if you touched the knob of a positively charged electroscope with another positively charged object?
In order to test the presence of a charge on an object, the object is brought near to an uncharged pith ball. If the object is charged, the ball will be attracted to it and move toward it. The attraction occurs because of induced polarisation of the atoms inside the pith ball. The pith is a nonconductor, so the electrons in the ball are bound to atoms of the pith and are not free to leave the atoms and move about in the ball, but they can move a little within the atoms. If, for example, a positively charged object is brought near the pith ball, the negative electrons in each atom will be attracted and move slightly toward the side of the atom nearer the object. The positively charged nuclei will be repelled and will move slightly away. Since the negative charges in the pith ball are now nearer the object than the positive charges, their attraction is greater than the repulsion of the positive charges, resulting in a net attractive force. This separation of charge is microscopic, but since there are so many atoms, the tiny forces add up to a large enough force to move a light pith ball. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroscope
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
Can an object gain more energy?
Sure, you can add energy to an object. For example, you can heat an object up (to have it gain heat energy), you can raise it (to have it gain gravitational potential energy), or you can make it move (to have it gain kinetic energy). In each case, the energy has to come from somewhere.

What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?
a negative ion... this was Ben McClanahan for you A+ people out there :))
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged it is referred to as?
When atoms either lose or gain electrons they are referred to as ions.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
What is the particle that an antom can loose or gain in order to form into a charged iron?
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
The atom becomes an ion. Also, A positively charged atom is called a Proton A Negatively charged atom is called a Electron
What will happen if all of the atoms in a substance gain an electron?
They becomes negatively charged anions. eg. Cl2(g) + 2e- = 2Cl^(-)
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
