Why does two negative numbers equal a positive?
They do not always. The sum of two negative numbers is negative.
Why does the product of 3 negative numbers equal a negative number number?
Because two negative multiplied together equal a positive. So after the first multiplication we have a positive and a negative. When we multiply these we have a negative.
Does a negative times a positive equal a negative What are the steps of multipyling negative and positive numbers?
Yes. In multiplication, the product is positive if the factors have the same sign,and the product is negative if they have oppositesigns.
What does a negatie times a negative equal?
A negative times a negative always equals a positive, no matter what the numbers are.
Does multipling two negative numbers equal a positive?
If two numbers have the same sign, their product is positive. If two numbers have opposite signs, their product is negative. So the answer is 'yes'.
A neutral object must have?
equal numbers of positive and negative charges.
What is total positive charges and negative are equal?
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.
When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object what is the net charge of the object?
The net charge of an object with equal amounts of positive and negative charges is zero. Positive and negative charges cancel each other out, resulting in no overall charge on the object.
Does an atom have more positive charges than negative charges?
No , an atom always has equal numbers of protons and electrons. If it has more charges of one kind than another is called an ion. Obviously this is caused by the number of protons and electrons compared to each other. If it has more positive charges, it has more protons than electrons, making it a positive ion. If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
Are negative numbers equal to positive numbers?
No
Does a double negative number equal a positive number?
no it doesnt. two negative numbers equal a negative number. two postivie numbers equal a positive number. one negative and one positive number equal a negative number.
Why don't atoms have an overall charge?
Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons, which carry opposite charges: protons are positive and electrons are negative. The equal number of positive and negative charges cancel each other out, resulting in an atom that is overall neutral.
What particles have negative electric charges equal to the positive charges of the protons?
Electrons have negative electric charges equal in magnitude to the positive charges of protons.
What does a neutral solution have an equal number of?
Positive and negative charges.
If you multiply two negative numbers will it equal a negative or positive number?
positive
What do you call a balance of a negative and positive charges?
A balance of negative and positive charges is called neutrality. This occurs when the total negative charge is equal to the total positive charge, resulting in a system that is electrically neutral.
Why is an object electrically neutral?
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.
