Virtually all particles in the air have a positive charge, while negative ions have a negative charge. In which case, negative ions and particles magnetically attract to one another. When there is a high enough concentration of negative ions in the air, they will attract to floating particles in large numbers.
More specifically, the atom will have a positive net charge if it has more protons in its nucleus than electrons surrounding its nucleus a negative net charge if it has more electrons surrounding its nucleus than protons in its nucleus no net charge if it has equal numbers of protons and electrons When an atom carries a positive net charge, it forms a cation, or positively charged ion. Likewise, when an atom carries a negative net charge, it forms an anion, or negatively charged ion. In your case, the atom is said to contain. eight protons. nine neutrons â they do not influence the net charge of the atom.
