First, if it is charged it is called an 'ion' and if it is positively charged it has lost one or more electrons from its outer parts and if it is negatively charged it has captured one or more electrons into its outer parts - as compared with its ground state which is when it has the same number of negative electrons in its outer parts as there are positively charged protons in its center and is therefore electrically neutral. all atoms are neutral, they have the same number of negatively charged electrons as they have positively charged protons (which is equal to the atomic number of that atom). metals can lose all of their valence electrons to get a complete outer orbital electron configuration, to form positively charged cations (+1, +2, and +3). They lose negatively charged electrons so they end up positive. ions are not atoms, they are atoms that have lost electrons or non-metals can gain electrons to fill their valence orbitals (becoming -1, -2, or -3). these nonmetals with extra electrons are anions, but anions are not atoms, they are atoms with extra electrons.
A cathode is negative. It attracts cations, which are positively charged.
It is a negatively charged object
It is positively charged because of the protons.
We call this Conventional Current Flow, where imaginary positively charged particles are repelled away from a positive charge and attracted towards a negative charge.The reality is that electrons are actually flowing through the conductor. Electrons are negatively charged particles and flow from negative to positive. It's just easier to think of a positive current flowing than a negative current.
by taking a negatively charged object and touching it with the object that you want to be charged
Protons are positive charged particles. Electrons are negative charged particles.
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
The electron is a negative charged particle.The positron is a positive charged particle.
Electrically polarized objects have had their charges separated, so one side will be positive, and the other side will be negative.
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
Volts are a unit of measurement determined by the "electrical pressure" in a circuit, or the potential difference between two charged bodies, say the positive and negative sides of a battery.
An anion is a negatively charged ion. A cation is a positively charged ion.Anion gets its name from the fact that anions migrate to the anode (positively charged electrode). Cation gets its name because cations migrate to the cathode (negatively charged electrode). Note, therefore, that the charge on the ion is opposite the charge of the electrode toward which it migrates. (Positive attracts negative and negative attracts positive).
Neither atom in a chlorine molecule is electrically charged where sodium has positive and chlorine has negative charges in NaCl.
-- They can if the gravitational force of attraction is greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion between them. -- They also can if they're connected by a rubber band that has been stretched. -- But if the only force between them is the electrostatic force due to their charges, then they must always repel, because their charges have the same sign.
Nitrogen is negatively charged.
Electrons are negatively charged.
