Atoms are neutral.
Ions can be charged, either positive or negative.
an atom has a positive charge due to the fact that it has a positive
The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The charge of an atom overall is neutral, as the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) in a neutral atom.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
the positively charged part of an atom is called proton
The proton is the subatomic particle of the atom that carries a positive charge.
Helium atom is neutral and has no charge. It becomes a positive ion with a charge of +1 when it loses an electron.
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.
Positive charge: cationNegative charge: anion
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
The subatomic particle with a positive charge is the proton. It is located in the nucleus of an atom and has a charge of +1.
Proton has uni-positive charge and is found within the nucleus
An atom consists of 3 types of particles, neutrons, protons and electrons. The proton is positive.
