What is the overall charge of the atom since the atom contains positive charges and negative charges. how is that possible?
An atom is always neutral of charge, meaning ZERO. This is possible because of the equal numbers of (positive) protons and (negative) electrons, each plus charge is compensated by one (equally negative) minus charge.
What kind of electric does an atom have?
That depends on the number of protons and electrons present. One electron has a charge of minus one. A proton has a charge of plus one. Add charges to arrive at the charge of the atom total. Example: an H+ ion consists of a single proton, and has no electrons. Its charge therefore is +1.
Why plus and minus symbols are used to specify the electron charges?
Because protons have a positive charge, hence the plus sign, and electrons have a negative charge, hence the minus sign.
An atom contains fewer electrons than protons has as negative ionic charge?
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?
The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?
Every electron has a charge of minus one. If a neutral atom acquires an additional electron, then it also acquires the charge of that electron, and will have a net charge of minus one.

Why the atom who denote his electron get positive charged and the atom who receive electron get negative charged?

What is the charge of the particles you find outside of an atom's nucleus?
Those are electrons, and they have a charge of minus 1.
What is the most common charge for Cl?
The chlorine atom typically becomes an ion with a charge of minus one.
How do you show charge over atom 2 or 2?
This cannot be shown correctly on Answers. Firstly, if it's charged it's an ion not an atom. The correct notation is symbol then the number as a superscript, then the plus or minus as a superscript.

Because protons have a positive charge, hence the plus sign, and electrons have a negative charge, hence the minus sign.
The overall charge of an atom is equal to the total charges of the?
The overall charge is the amount of protons minus the number of electrons.
