Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1RCQ
Which part of an atom is positively charged, and which part is negatively charged?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The atom’s part that is positively charged and the part that is negatively charged.
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
The atom’s part that is positively charged is proton and the part that is negatively charged is electron.
Explanation of Solution
The atom’s nucleus is positively charged. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The neutrons do not have any charge. So, positive charge to the nucleus is due to the positive charge of the protons and the region surrounding the nucleus is negatively charged as electrons revolve round the nucleus in this region.
Therefore, the part of an atom that is positively charged is proton and the part that is negatively charged is electron.
