Source sentences:
text: Conversely, sometimes an atom takes on one or more electrons, thus acquiring a negative charge.
text: Electric charge, which can be positive or negative, occurs in discrete natural units and is neither created nor destroyed.
text: The atom that is more attractive to the electron will have an apparent negative charge, while the atom that is less electronegative (more electropositive) will have a net positive charge.
text: Often, the number of protons and electrons is not the same, so the atom carries a net positive or negative charge.
text: However, in ions (different number of electrons) this is not always the case, and they can have a positive or a negative charge.
text: Electric charge, which can be positive or negative, occurs in discrete natural units and is neither created nor destroyed.
text: The charge of electrons is negative whereas the charge of protons is positive.
text: If the charge is negative, electrons are in excess.
text: An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
text: The end result in this critical Rutherford paper, however, was Rutherford's announcement that whether the atom were a disk or a sphere, and indeed whether the central charge were positive or negative, would not affect the calculations.
text: The charge is negative, since sulfur is a non-metal.
text: Would the charge on a sodium cation be positive, negative or neutral?
text: Simultaneously, the chlorine atom, having gained an extra electron, will take on a negative charge and become a chlorine ion.
text: In the case of a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms carry positive charges while the oxygen atom has a negative charge.
text: The charge of electrons is negative whereas the charge of protons is positive.
text: If the charge is positive, there are more protons than electrons.
text: For the purpose of his mathematical calculations he assumed this central charge was positive, but he admitted he could not prove this and that he had to wait for other experiments to develop his theory.
text: In his 1911 paper (see above), Rutherford assumed that the central charge of the atom was positive, but a negative charge would have fitted his scattering model just as well.
text: An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
text: The end result in this critical Rutherford paper, however, was Rutherford's announcement that whether the atom were a disk or a sphere, and indeed whether the central charge were positive or negative, would not affect the calculations.
text: Think about why an atom that has lost electrons will have a positive charge.
text: Would the charge on a sodium cation be positive, negative or neutral?
text: In the case of a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms carry positive charges while the oxygen atom has a negative charge.
