Learning Task 1
1. What do you call the positively charged particles
2. What are the negatively charged particles
3. If an atom has equal number of positively charged particles and ne
charged particles, what will be the charged of the atom
An atom is electrically neutral because they have an equal number of pro
electrons. When do we say that an object is positively charged or negative
chargede Have you experienced placing your arm near a switched-on 10
screen, what happened to the hair on your arme The standing of the hair
is the result of static electricity. Electric charges can be transferred using di
ways. How do objects get charged
Example:
= 4 + 6 = -2 (negatively charged)
4 protons (+) and 6 electrons (-) = 2 electrons​
