Normally atoms are neutral.
the positive number of a atom
Cations, positively charged atoms e.g. Na+. The positive charges are the protons min the nucleus and the negative charges are electrons.
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.
It is a negative if the negative number has the higher absolute value and positive if the positive number has the higher absolute value.
An object is electrically neutral when it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a balance of overall charge. This balance occurs when the number of protons (positive charges) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charges) in the object.
When the total positive charges are equal to the total negative charges in an atom or a molecule, the overall charge is neutral. This means that the number of protons (positive charges) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charges), resulting in a balanced electrical charge.
Atoms are neutral, therefore having an equal amount of protons (1 positive charge) and electrons (1 negative charge). eg. 7 electrons= 7 protons
Multiply it by another negative number. Or add a higher positive number to it.
Positive and negative charges.
The substance has an overall charge of zero because the number of positive charges is equal to the number of negative charges, resulting in a neutral charge.
Ionic compounds are neutral because they have an equal number of positive and negative charges. In a crystal lattice structure, the positive and negative ions are arranged in such a way that overall the compound has no net charge. This balance of positive and negative charges is what makes the compound stable.
When the absolute value of the negative number is higher than the positive number.
