How does an object get a neutral charge?
It has equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Do the sign positive or negative of the charge affect how that charge is dissipated?
The dissipation of charge comes from electron flow, regardless of how it was charged. The balance of electrons (which have a negative charge) to protons (which are positively charged) determine if the charge of the object. Protons are in the nucleus and will not leave the nucleus without some sort of nuclear reaction or decay. Also, if protons leave or are added to the nucleus, the element changes. Electrons orbit the nucleus, and are much easier to get to move from one atom to another. By rubbing two objects together, electrons can move from one of the objects to the other. If the objects are separated, then one of them has less electrons than before - this now has a net positive charge (there are more protons than electrons). The other object has a net negative charge (more electrons than protons). If a third object is touched, then the positively charged object may attract some electrons from this third object until the charge is neutralized. If the negative object touches another object, then it will give away the excess electrons so that it has a neutral charge. In both cases it is electron flow, just the direction of flow is different.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
When is a substance is negatively charged?
When it's ions have more elecrons than protons
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What kind of charge does an object have if it has more protons than electrons?
The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./
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.
What is the charge on an object that has 4 electrons and 12 protons?
positive
How does an object get a neutral charge?
It has equal numbers of protons and electrons.
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
The nucleus of an atom has both electrons and neutrons. An atom that has a positive charge means that the atom has fewer electrons than it has protons.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
How 2 neutral objects can become a postively charged object and a negatively charged object?
If you have two electrically neutral objects, and a charge (e.g., an electron) passes from one to the other, then both will be charged. If an electron (with a charge of minus 1 elementary units) passes from object "A" to object "B", and both were neutral initially, then object "A" will have a charge of +1, and charge B, a charge of -1. If this is confusing for you, here is a numerical example.Object A has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 10 = 0.Object B also has 10 protons and 10 electrons, for a total charge of 0.After the electron goes from object A to object B:Object A has 10 protons and 11 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 11 = -1.Object B has 10 protons and 9 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 9 = +1.If you have two electrically neutral objects, and a charge (e.g., an electron) passes from one to the other, then both will be charged.

What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
What object has neither a positive or negative charge?
When an object has 'no' charge, it is neutral.
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
