The Atom is neutral because the charged particles sum to zero,m thus neutral. The positive charges are in the nucleus and the negative particles are the electrons. The sum is zero and the atom is neutral.

Why has the atomic models changed over time?

It was found that atoms are made up of even smaller particles (through experiments), and the models changed because how we thought atoms were composed turned out to be wrong, and corrections were made accordingly.


Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?

No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?


Atoms are made up of blank particles?

atoms are made of subatomic particles.


What are neutrals subatomic particle?

Atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons.Neutrons have a neutral charge.Protons, electrons, and neutrons are made up of smaller particles. Among these, neutrinos are also neutral.


Can atoms be made of smaller particles?

Yes - all atoms are made of smaller particles. Those particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Are atoms are made up of positive ions?

No. An atom with a positive charge is an ion, but atoms can also be neutral. The subatomic particles in atoms are protons, electrons, and (except for a very few low mass isotopes) neutrons.


What are neutral particles formed as a result of electron sharing called?

Neutral particles formed as a result of electron sharing are called molecules. Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between the atoms. This sharing of electrons allows the atoms to achieve stable electron configurations.


What are the particles that matter is made of?

What kind of particles are atoms made up of?

Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons.


What kind of substance is made up of neutral atoms or molecules and changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container?

A gas is a substance made up of neutral atoms or molecules that changes its shape and volume when placed in a new container. Gases have particles that are widely dispersed and move freely, allowing them to fill the space available to them.


Which particles in an atom are in the molecules?

All of them. Molecules are made of atoms, not pieces of atoms.
