What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
Does an atoms nucleus have a positive or negative charge?
it cant have any charge at all. atoms have an equal amount of protons and neutron therefore the give off no charge. if they did give off a charge they would no longer be atoms they would be ions
How did Thomson know that atoms must contain particles with positive charges?
He knew that in a vacuum tube metals can be made to emit streams of negative charge which were then called cathode rays. If atoms are neutral and can produce negative charge, there must be positive charge there too.
Which species has a negative charge?
An electron or an aluminum ion carry a negative charge.
What is charge of an atom?
Normally, atoms do not have a charge, but if they are ionic, they have either a positive or negative charge, normally with the addition or loss of electrons.
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
What are atoms OR groups of atoms with a positive OR negative charge?
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Can atoms have positive or negative charge?
Yes, if they are ions
Why do some objects have a negative charge and others a positive charge?
atoms often gain or lose electrons,which causes them to have a temporary negative or positive charge.
Atoms with a positive or negative charge are called ions?
ion
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
How many covalent bonds will form between two atoms with one with a negative and positive charge and the other with a negative and positive charge?

What is the particle in an atoms nucleus that has no charge?
The Neutron has no charge. The proton is positive and the electron is negative.
What are the charged subatomic particles in atoms?
Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Which water molecule has a partial positive charge?
hydrogen is partially positive and oxygen is partially negative so your answer is oxygen
