What else can I help you with?
Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
What are the positive charges in an atom?
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
An atom with a positive net charge is called?
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
What is the small core at the center of an atom containing positive charge?
Nucleus, made up of protons and nuetrons. The nucleus. If an atom has positive charge it means one or more electrons has gone missing, leaving a net positive charge due to protons in the nucleus.
Does an atom's nucleus have a positive charge?
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.
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.
What is contained inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus in electron clouds.
What particles are found in the nucleus of an atom and what charge do they have?
Without speaking about quarks, leptons and bosons (which are more complicated), the nucleus has neutrons (no charge) and protons (positive charge).
How is an atom given a neg charge?
In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge because the nucleus contains?
The nucleus of an atom does have a positive charge, yes. If you're asking what particle is in the nucleus and has a positive charge, "proton" is probably the answer you're looking for. (There are more esoteric possible answers if we're liberal about our terms.)
What is contained in an atom?
An atom contains protons and neutrons in its nucleus, surrounded by electrons orbiting in energy levels. The protons have a positive charge, the electrons have a negative charge, and the neutrons have no charge. Together, these subatomic particles make up the structure of an atom.
If an atom has 18 protons 15 neutrons and 22 electrons what is the atoms electrical charge?
If an atom has 15 protons 12 neutrons and 16 electrons, the neutrons have absolutely nothing to do with the electrical charge. Having one more electron than protons would determine the electrical charge of the atom. The atom would have a charge of -1. The extra electron would give it a negative charge.
