What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
What do atoms do that alters there overall neutral charge?
Atoms either gain or lose electrons to change their overall neutral charge.
How are atoms that are neutral in charge?
Atoms that are neutral in charge have the same quantity of protons and electrons. Negative ions have extra electrons, and positive ions are missing electrons.
