What else can I help you with?
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
What are electric charge?
the static electric charges refer to the charges which are at rest, in other words stationary positions.
Which particles in atoms have a electric charge?
electrons
Do atoms have no overall electric charge?
Correct
What particles in atoms have a negative electric charge?
Electrons.
What are atoms with a positive electric charge called?
Cations.
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What is the name of a particle with an electric charge?
The particle with an electric charge is called the proton. It makes up part of an atoms nucleus.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
What is the total electric charge on molecules and compounds?
The total electric charge is always zero.
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
