what happens if all the subatomic particles become positively charged?

Say goodbye to matter, I suppose.\n\nWithout electrons (which are negative), all chemical bonds would collapse - so definitley say goodbye to any and all compounds. There goes most materials.  Ditto for chemistry.

Protons, Neutrons, and electrons

(m)\n\nMatter which consists of antiparticles, elementary particles of ordinary matter, such as protons and electrons, but have an opposite electrical charge. For example, an antiproton has a negative charge while a proton has a positive charge. When a particle of matter and a particle of antimatter come into contact with each other they are destroyed, releasing energy.

All energy eventually ends up as heat.  It's a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics

Atom smashing. In high-energy head-on collisions between particles such as protons some of the energy will be converted into particle-antiparticle pairs. The antiparticles are, of course, antimatter.

Atoms are in turn made of electrons, neutrons and protons, magnetism holds them together:  Electrons carry a positive charge, protons have a negative charge, and neutrons are...neutral.  Electrons orbit protons and neutrons the way Earth orbits the sun.  The theory expands to quarks, and even smaller unit.  Read up on it!\n\nOrigin so far is explained in the Big Bang theory. \n\nScience doesn't have all the answers yet, but thats why people become scientists, so many fascinating mysteries to figure out.

Usually, the number of electrons determines the charge of the atom. The protons determines the identity of the atom (the element). Therefore, when two protons and two neutrons are emitted, you will haev a totally different element than before, not an anion (negatively charged ion or atom).

Because positively and negatively charged ions exist. Because electrons exist.

Hey its very simple. It follows einstein's emergy mass relation viz. E=mc^2. Though photon is a massless particle but\nit has energy given by E=hv, v being the frequency. So the a part of photon's energy may be converted into mass and can give rise to massive charged particles like proton,electron etc. It can be understood from following equation:\n   E(photon) = m1*c^2 +m2*c^2 + 0.5*(m1*v1^2+m2*v2^2)\nIts notewrthy that the particles always appear in pair s.t. the two in a pair are of equal and opposite charges thus conserving the total charge.

Well if it's stable, there will be the same amount of protons as electrons. If it has a charge add or subtract. \n(If you have a plus charge, that means there's 1 more proton than electron... if you have a -2 there are two more electrons than protons etc.)

Just in case you wanted a nice simple answer:\n\nBoth particles are emitted from the nuclei of unstable atoms.\n\nA beta particle is a negatively charged particle equivalent to an electron\n\nAn alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons

High low is relative and unimportant, Polarity is what matters. You do not allow for the answer opposite potential energy, which is the correct answer an electron has a negative charge and will move towards a positive potential. if you are referring to an electron in an atom at a particular quantum level it will remain at that level until acted upon by an outside force if this force adds energy it will move to a higher energy level, vise-verse. If you want people to take the time to answer a question take the time to define it well!

Any and Every Copper atom has exactly protons in the nucleus...if it didnt, it wouldnt be Copper.\nThe only thing that will effect the over all change of the ion in that case is the number of electrons around the atom.\nA neutral atom will have equal numbers of proton and neutrons, however, if that atom should loose an electron, it will develop of positive charge.\nIn the case of a Copper +2 ion, the atom has lost 2 electrons to become the Cu+2 ion.\n\nCu+2,\nProtons (+) = 29\nElectrons (-) = 27

In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. It may be either a subatomic particle or an ion.

basic answer: if the scope is charged, that means there are an excess of like charges all stuck together. like carges repel, but they have nowhere to go since there are no conductors around. you're body, mostly water, is a decent conductor, so when you touch it, the charges are free to move farther apart from each other by going into your body. the charges leave the scope until the excess charge is neutralized.\n\nmore accurate: actually, positive charges don't move, since positive protons are stuck in the atoms, but negative electrons are free to move in a conductor. when something is positively charged, it didnt gain positive charge, but lost electrons. when you neutralize it, electrons flow FROM your body to the scope. this is really the same as a net positive charge leaving the scope, but that isnt whats actually happening at an atomic level

On a subatomic level, forces involve the exchange of mediating particles.  In the case of the electromagnetic and gravitational forces, those particles do not carry electric charge, or any other quantum numbers, besides spin.  Therefore, releasing them and absorbing them does not alter the identity of a particle, although its energy and momentum are changed.  \n\nThe weak force is more complicated, however.  There are two types of mediating particles. One type (the W particles) carries electric charge.  In order to release or absorb a W particle, a subatomic particle must change its electric charge (and therefore its identity) in order for charge to be conserved.\n\nThis is essentially why beta decay happens.  A neutron produces a negatively charged W particle, and changes into a proton.  The W particle itself decays into an electron and a neutrino.  \n\nThe second decay, (of the mediating particle) is not possible with gravitational or electromagnetic forces, because their mediating particles are massless, and travel at the speed of light. (The rules of special relativity forbid light speed objects from decaying.)

18F\nFluorin has 9 protons(9+)and 9 electrons(9-).Therefore,there'll be no charge since positive charges from 9 protons were neutralize by negative charges of 9 electrons.+9-9=0..It is known as atom because it doesn't carry any charge.If it is ion,the amount of electron will more than proton,or the other way round.\n\nHope this will help!!=)All the best!!
