nope, nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons only, which contain positive and neutral charges respectively, so it isn't possible for a nucleus to have a negative charge, only positive.
but an atom as a whole can have a negative charge if there are more electrons than protons.

∙ 14y agoYes it does. The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge and protons have a positive charge, thus the overall charge is positive. The charge strength is thus proportional to the number of protons there are in the nucleus. The positive charge in the nucleus is equalled and cancelled out by the negative charge of the electrons surrounding the nucleus, one electron for each proton.

∙ 13y agoThe nucleus has a positive charge as it consists of protons (positively charged sub-atomic particles) and neutrons (neutrally charged sub-atomic particles). The electrons that are negatively charged orbit the nucleus. Thus as a whole, the atom has a neutral charge in its standard state.

∙ 13y agoTechnically yes. A nucleus has either a positive or neutral charge.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo, it is positive because it contains protons which are positive, and neutrons which have no charge.

∙ 13y agodepends. if you have more protons yes if you have more electrons than protons no, getrid of the neutrons then find out the answer.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!

∙ 11y agoYes it can, depending on the ratio of protons, electrons, and neutrons it is composed of. More proton = slightly positive charge, and more electron is slightly positive charge.

What is the charge of the nucleus of every atom?
The nucleus of every atom has positive charge because protons and neutrons of those atoms have positive charge..PROTON which has positive charge is residing IN the nucleus,an ELECTRON, which has negative charge is to be 'found' around the nucleus in a socalled shell.
What is the positive charge atoms called?
The positive -charge in an atom is called the proton.They are held in the nucleus with the neutrons.
Which to particles are found in an atoms nucleus?
There are two particles in an atom's nucleus. The protons carry positive charge. The neutrons have no charge.
The part of the atom that has a positive charge is a?
This particle is the proton.
What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
What is the charge of the nucleus of atoms?
Because protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, the atomic nucleus has a positive charge.
What is the charge of the nucleus of every atom?
The nucleus of every atom has positive charge because protons and neutrons of those atoms have positive charge..PROTON which has positive charge is residing IN the nucleus,an ELECTRON, which has negative charge is to be 'found' around the nucleus in a socalled shell.
What is the positive charge atoms called?
The positive -charge in an atom is called the proton.They are held in the nucleus with the neutrons.
What charge is a nucleus?
neutral
Is there a positive charge in atoms with equal numbers?
Atoms have positive protons in the nucleus with an equal number of negative electrons around the outside the nucleus. No there is no charge on an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons.
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.
Which to particles are found in an atoms nucleus?
There are two particles in an atom's nucleus. The protons carry positive charge. The neutrons have no charge.
What is the particle in the in the nucleus of the atoms that carry a positive charge?
I believe it is the Proton.
What is the charge of the atoms nucleus?
The net charge of the nucleus is positive because the electrons (e-) are not in the nucleus there are around it in the outer shells.
Is the nucleus of there atoms positive negative or neutral?
inside the nucleus there are protons which are positive and neutrons that are neutral, because the neutrons are neutral they don't affect the charge. so the Nucleus is Positive.
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
Why don't atoms carry net charge?
The total positive charge of the nucleus is cancelled by the negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus. Hence atoms are electrically neutral
