Yes, although the identity of the element changes (i.e. it will no longer by Hydrogen if you add a proton but it will be Helium.)

If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?

When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).


An object becomes charged when the atoms in the object gain or lose what?

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.


How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.


How an object become positively charged?

An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.


A positively charged what has more protons than electrons?

That would be a positively charged ion. (cation)

How does an atom become positively or negatively charged?

An atom becomes positively charged by losing electrons, which results in an excess of protons. Conversely, an atom becomes negatively charged by gaining electrons, which creates an excess of electrons relative to protons. This imbalance of protons and electrons creates an electric charge on the atom.


Why do objects become positively or negatively charged?

An item becomes positively or negatively charged through losing/gaining electrons. As electrons are lost the item becomes positive, and as electrons are gained the item becomes negative. (Electrons are negative charges and protons are positive charges.) An item cannot lose protons, as protons are fixed. Gaining/losing electrons can be gained by charging by friction, contact, or induction (through the air).


How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?

An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.


An object becomes positively charged if it?

Its number of Protons is more 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.


True or false a surface that loses electrons becomes positively charged?

True. When a surface loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it has more positively charged protons compared to the negatively charged electrons.


What happens when an atom loose an atom?

If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.


A piece of fur is positively charged when?

A piece of fur becomes positively charged when it loses electrons to another object through friction, causing it to have an excess of protons compared to electrons. This imbalance of positive charge results in the fur being 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


What is a positively charged subatomic particale?

Protons are positively charged subatomic particles.


A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?

When a particle loses electrons, it becomes positively charged due to having more protons than electrons. Conversely, if a particle gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons. This imbalance in charge leads to the formation of a charged particle.


Positively charged particles of an atom?

Only Protons are positively charged.
