Questions and Answers

What happens to an object when it receives an electron?

  • It loses its atomic structure.
  • It gains a negative charge. (correct)
  • It gains a positive charge.
  • It becomes neutral.
  • Losing an electron results in a negative charge.

    False

    Study Notes

    Electric Charge

    • Every object is made of tiny atoms
    • Atoms have three parts: electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge)
    • If an object gains electrons, it has a negative charge
    • If an object loses electrons, it has a positive charge
    • An imbalance of charges creates static electricity
    • Charges can move if there is a difference in electrical potential (voltage)
