How does losing an electron result in a positive charge?

Physics
1 answer:
AlekseyPX4 years ago
3 0
A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge. Usually, the amount of electrons and protons is the same, but when an electron is lost usually because of radiation or a chemical reaction the resulting amount of electrons/ protons results in a different charge for the atom in general.
When there are more electrons the result it a negative ion, and when there are more protons it is a positive ion. 
So, to answer your question: if an electron is lost from a neutral atom and there are more protons than electrons you get a positive charge. Have a good day!

A train rolls past a stationary observer. To him, the train is moving at a speed of 23m/s west, and a woman on the train is movi
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

21.7 seconds.

Explanation:

Woman's velocity relative to train (23 m/s - 22.4 m/s) = 0.6 m/s

Distance woman wants to travel = 13m

To find how long she will take to move 13m relative to the train, take the distance she wants to travel divided by her velocity relative to the train.

(13m)/(0.6 m/s) = 21.6667 seconds or 21.7 seconds.  

Therefore, it will take the woman 21.7 seconds to move 13m.

The point on the earth's surface directly above the point where the fault first ruptures is called the ____________.
Minchanka [31]
This point is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important when it comes to the Earth's surface, because it pinpoints where Earthquakes begin to take shape and occur. It is the place where the most damage is caused by an earthquake and is found above the hypocenter.

Match the theory to the statement that best describes it. 1. big bang. 2. steady state. 3.osscillating universe. 4. inflation Ch
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation :

(1) Big bang : (1) The most accepted theory on the origin of the universe.

This theory shows the expanding of the universe from high density and high-temperature states.

(2) Steady state : (3) All is the same and will always stay the same.

Steady state means that the properties of any system remain the same always.

(3) Oscillating universe : (4) Agrees with the big bang theory but insists the universe expanded much quicker.

Oscillating universe theory is the result of big bang theory.

(4) Inflation Choices : (2) it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops.  

In cosmology, cosmic inflation or deflation is just the expanding and contraction of the universe.

So, the statements and the choices are related as:

               (1)-(1)

              (2)- (3)

               (3)-(4)

               (4)-(2)
