Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

An object that’s
charged has more electrons than protons. An object that’s
charged has fewer electrons than protons. An object that’s
charged has the same number of electrons and protons.

Answer 1

(1) An object that’s negatively charged has more electrons than protons.

(2) An object that’s positively charged has fewer electrons than protons.

(3) An object that’s not charged has the same number of electrons than protons.

Explanation :

Objects have three subatomic particles that are Electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus and electrons rotate or move outside the nucleus. Naturally, protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged.

Therefore, an object that is negatively charged has more electrons than protons. An object that is not charged has the same number of electrons than protons. An object that is positively charged has fewer electrons than protons.
