GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -If a neutral atom gains electrons, then it will become negatively charged. If a neutral atom loses electrons, then it become positively charged.

Detailed explanation-2: -For an object to become charged, it must either gain or lose electrons. Losing electrons results in more positive charge than negative charge, making the object charged positively. Gaining electrons results in more negative charge than positive charge, making the object charged negatively.

Detailed explanation-3: -When it loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When an object gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

Detailed explanation-4: -If an atom loses or gains electrons, it will become a positively or negatively charged particle, called an ion. The loss of one or more electrons results in more protons than electrons and an overall positively charged ion, called a cation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons, on the other hand, don’t have a charge.
