Answer:

Positively charged objects have electrons; they simply possess more protons than electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

2. An object that is electrically neutral contains only neutrons. Electrically neutral atoms simply possess the same number of electrons as protons.

Information:

If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion.

Tips:

If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.

I hope this answers help you! :>
