A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
A Neutron has no charge.
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
Helium has no net electric charge. And its electronegativity is zero.
zero
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. It consists of two protons and two neutrons so it has mass (approximately the same as the mass of a helium atom) and charge (a plus two charge because each proton has a charge of plus one and the neutrons are not charged).
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
since an electron is a negatively charged particle and a proton is a positively charged particle the positive and negative charges will cancel each other so the electrical charge on atom is zero.
A Neutron has no charge.
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
The nucleus of a helium atom is composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons (the atomic number is 2 and the mass number is 4). Protons have a relative charge of +1 and neutrons a relative charge of 0, so to work out the charge we do number of protons multiplied by the charge of the proton. The charge on a proton is 1.60 * 10^-19 So charge= (1.60 * 10^-19) * 2 = 3.2 * 10^'19 Hope this helps :)
A neutron has a zero or neutral charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
Zero
