Charges on Atoms If an atom has more electrons than protons, the atom has a ____________ charge and is a negative ion negative

Charges on Atoms If an atom has more protons than electrons, the atom has a ____________ charge and is a positive ion positive

Charges on Atoms If an atom has the same number of protons and electrons, the atom has no overall charge – it is _______________ neutral

Charges on Atoms 11.1 NOTE: Atoms can lose or gain ______________ only. The number of protons does not change. Only _______________ can move from atom to atom. electrons

Charges on Objects An object may be positively charged, negatively charged,or neutral. An object becomes charged when electrons are either removed from or added to the object. Static electricity is an imbalance of positive and negative charges on an object neutral object negatively charged object positively charged object static electricity

Charges on Objects 11.1 neutral object negatively charged object positively charged object static electricity Neutral object number of protons = number of electrons

Charges on Objects 11.1 neutral object negatively charged object positively charged object static electricity Positively charged object number of protons > number of electrons

Charges on Objects 11.1 neutral object negatively charged object positively charged object static electricity Negatively charged object number of electrons > number of protons

A charged object exerts an electric force on a nearby object. The force either attracts or repels the nearby object. The Law of Electric Charges states that : – objects with like charges repel each other – objects with opposite charges attract each other Law of Electric Charges 11.1 Vocabulary electric force

An electroscope is a device that is used to detect the presence of electric charges. There are two types of electroscopes: 11.1 Detecting the Charge on an Object: Electroscopes

pith ball electroscope 11.1 Detecting the Charge on an Object: Electroscopes

pith ball electroscope 11.1 Detecting the Charge on an Object: Electroscopes

metal-leaf electroscope 11.1 Detecting the Charge on an Object: Electroscopes

Detecting the Charge on an Object: How to Use an Electroscope With an electroscope you can determine if an object is neutral or if the object has a charge on it. You do this by observing what happens when the object is brought close to a neutral electroscope Pith ball electroscopeMetal leaf electroscope If object is neutral If object is positively or negatively charged

Detecting the Charge on an Object: How to Use an Electroscope With an electroscope you can determine if an object is neutral or if the object has a charge on it. You do this by observing what happens when the object is brought close to a neutral electroscope Pith ball electroscopeMetal leaf electroscope If object is neutralpith ball does not move If object is positively or negatively charged pith ball swings toward object
