A charged object can have an unequal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge. An object with more positive charges than negative charges will have a positive net charge, and vice versa for negative charges.

Atoms have a higher number of positive charges than negative charges?

Cations, positively charged atoms e.g. Na+. The positive charges are the protons min the nucleus and the negative charges are electrons.


What are the three types of charges that particles can have?

Positive, Neutral, or Negative Positively charged particles are protons Negatively charged particles are electrons Neutrally charged or no charge particles are neutrons


Are ions negatively charged?

You can have positive ions and negative ions. For example, take saltwater which dissociates into: Na+ & Cl- Typically the number positive charges and negative charges must balance.


Is the human body positively or negatively charged?

The human body is generally neutrally charged, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges.


What is the difference between electrically charged and a neutral object?

An electrically charged object has an imbalance of positive or negative charges, while a neutral object has an equal number of positive and negative charges. Charged objects can attract or repel other charged objects due to their electric fields, whereas neutral objects do not exert such forces.


Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?

No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.


Atoms have higher number of positive charges than negative charges?

the positive number of a atom


Why do most atoms have no charge even though they are made up of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons?

Because there are equal numbers of protons and neutron so the charges cancel out. The ones that are charged are charged because of the electrons, or lack of them, nothing to do with the nucleii.


Why does an atom have no net electronic charge?

Atoms have positively charged protons in the nucleus and an equal number of negatively charged electrons in orbitals outside the nucleus. The positive and negative charges are balance.


How can atoms be neutral if they have charged particles?

because in their neutral state the number of positive particles is equal to the number of negative particles and the magnitude of a single positive charge is the same as the magnitude of a single negative charge in short the positive and negative charges cancel each other out


An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?

An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).


Remove the valence electron from sodium what has happened to the balance of positive and negative charges what is sodium oxidation number?

When a valence electron is removed from sodium, the balance of positive and negative charges becomes uneven, resulting in a positively charged ion (Na+). The oxidation number of sodium in this case is +1.
