Yes it has a positive charge. A nucleus is made up of protons that have a positive charge and neutrons which have no charge so are are neutral. So, overall, the nucleus is the positively charged part of an atom and its positive charge is neutralized by the negatively charged electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

How do electric charges relate to parts of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons. Neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge so the nucleus is positively charged. Around the nucleus there are orbiting electrons which are negatively charged. The positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge of the atom neutral
What part of the atom causes the nucleus to have a positive charge?
The protons give the nucleus a positive charge.
Does the nucleus of an atom have a positive or negative charge?
Usually, the whole atom is neutral. However, the nucleus has a positive charge because it is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons have positive charges but neutrons have no charge at all.The atomic nucleus has a positive charge.
What is the negetive charge in the nucleus?
The nucleus of the atom doesn't have a negative charge. It has protons with a positive charge and neurons that don't have a charge.
What did Rutherford believe was in the center of an atom?
a nucleus with a positive charge
Does the nucleus of an atom has a positive electric charge?
true its positive
Which particle in the nucleus of an atom have a positive electric charge?
The Proton is positive
What Positive electric charge within the nucleus of an atom?
Positively charged particles in the nucleus of an atom are protons.
What particle has a single electric charge It is part of the nucleus of an atom called?
A single positive charge in the nucleus is the proton
What is the part of the of atom carries no electric charge?
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
What is the part of the atom that carries no electric charge?
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an atom?
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
Why does nucleus of an atom have a positive charge?
an atom has a positive charge due to the fact that it has a positive
What is the proton electric charge and location in an atom?
Proton has uni-positive charge and is found within the nucleus
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 is the contrast between protons and electrons?
protons have a positive electric charge,stay in the nucleus of an atom and are about 4000 times bigger than an electron which orbits the nucleus and has a negative electric charge.
What is the charge of just the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. The negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus more or less balances out the positive charge.
