Detailed explanation-1: -1. TRUE or FALSE: An object that is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons. Positively charged objects have electrons; they simply possess more protons than electrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Any particle, whether an atom, molecule or ion, that contains less electrons than protons is said to be positively charged. Conversely, any particle that contains more electrons than protons is said to be negatively charged.
Detailed explanation-3: -Electrons are a type of subatomic particle with a negative charge. Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they are neutral).
Detailed explanation-4: -Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge.
Detailed explanation-5: -Opposite charges attract. A positively charged object has lost electrons. A positively charged object has gained protons. A negatively charged object has lost protons.
