Electrons.
Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.

Which part of the atom is found in the center of the atom and has no electric charge?
A neutron has no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.Alternate wording to an inexact question:If you are referring to the nucleus of an atom, there must always be at least one proton. So there has to always be a positive charge. The other component, the neutron, has no charge. The electrons orbiting the nucleus have the negative charge. So if no electrical charge is found in the nucleus, it is not an atom and therefore not a nucleus.
What does the number of protons in a atom equal?
Atoms that are neutral must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Thus, for the charge to be neutral, the numbers of these particles must be equal.
Why are there as many electrons as protons in a atom?
Because Electrons have a negative charge (e-) and Protons have a positive charge (p+), so to create a balanced atom you must have the same number of e- as p+
What is the name for the polyatomic compound Ma2CO3?
Ma ????? you must mean, since that is the correct atom to atom charge count, Na2CO3 Sodium carbonate
What is the total charge on a neutral atom?
By definition, atoms have no overall electrical charge. That means that there must be a balance between the positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons. Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. In our example, an atom of krypton must contain 36 electrons since it contains 36 protons.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
What must be eqal in an atom?
The overall charge. Therefore, there must be the same number of protons as there are electrons, unless the atom is an ion.
If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
In an atom what numbers have to be equal?
An atom must have the same number of electrons and protons to have a neutral charge.
What must be equal for an atom to have a neutral charge?
I think that for an atom to have a neutral charge, it must have the same amount of protons and neutrons. Otherwise its a ion. Check it up on Google just to be sure. Hope I could help :)
How many electrons in a neutral atom of Xenon?
The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.
How is an atom given a neg charge?
In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.
Explain why a neutral atom cannot have one proton one neutron and two electrons?
an atom with a neutral charge must have the same number of protons as electrons. (think of a proton as having a +1 charge and an electron having a -1 charge. in order for the atom to be neutral, the positive charges must balance with the negative charges) If the atom has 1 proton and 2 electrons, then the overall charge is -1
How many protons are in an atom which has 55 neautrons and 43 electons?
If this atom has 43 electron it must have 43 protons to be a neutral atom of no charge.
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
If a neutral atom of 22 protons how many electrons does an atom contain?
22. The electrons have a charge of -1, and protons have a charge of +1. In order for the charges to cancel out and make the atom neutral, there must be an equal number of each.
If an atom has 19 protons and 20 neutrons how many electrons would it have?
Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Therefore, if an atom is to be neutral it must have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Consequently, if an atom has 19 protons and is neutral it must have 19 electrons.
