What’s are the charge of a particles?
-The charge of a particle is either:
Positive
Negative
Neutral
(no charge)
What are atoms made from?
-
Electrons
are negatively
charged
particles, whilst
protons
are
positive
and
neutrons
are
neutral
What is an atom neutral?
-in a neutral atom, the number of
electrons
is equal to the number of
protons
This is so the equal (but opposite) charges cancel out to make the
overall charge
of the atom zero
when does an object become negatively charged?
-Therefore, an object becomes negatively charged when it gains
electrons
and positively charged when it loseselectrons
what occurs when two charged particles are close together?
-When two charged particles or objects are close together, they also exert a
force
on each other
What are the two forces a 2 charged particle would exert?
Attractive
(the objects get closer together)
Repulsive
(the objects move further apart)
What determines whether two objects attract or repel?
-Whether two objects attract or repel depends on their charge
If the charges are the opposite, they will attract
If the charges are the same, they will repel
