because in their neutral state the number of positive particles is equal to the number of negative particles and the magnitude of a single positive charge is the same as the magnitude of a single negative charge
in short the positive and negative charges cancel each other out
What else can I help you with?
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?
What are the particles found in the nucleus of all atoms?
Protons which are positively charged and neutrons which are neutral.
How Can Atoms Be Neutral if they are made up of changed particles?
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.
How are can be atoms neutral if they contain charged particles?
the no of positive charges are equal to negative charges (protons = electrons) in any neutral atom.
What is composed of charged particles?
Many things are composed of charged particles, including atoms (which consist of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons), ions (atoms with a net positive or negative charge), and plasma (a state of matter in which electrons are stripped from atoms, creating a mix of charged particles).
What positively charged parts of atoms?
The answer is in the names of the particles. The Neutron is neutral. The Electron is negative. The Proton is positive.
Are atoms normally negatively charged?
No - atoms are always neutral. The number of protons is balanced by a equal number of electrons. Ions, on the other hand, may be positively or negatively charged, depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.
Are electrons neutral?
Yes, electrons are negatively charged particles and therefore have a charge of -1. However, overall, atoms are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons.
Why do atoms have no electric charge even through most of there particles have charges?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
What are positively charged particles in an atom called?
Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons. They are located in the nucleus of the atom and their positive charge balances the negative charge of electrons to keep the atom electrically neutral.
Why are atoms neutral despite having charged particles?
because, in a neutral atom, there are the same numbers of positive and negative particles that cancel each other out. for example, the attraction (or lack thereof) between an electron and hydrogen an electron is attracted to the hydrogen's proton an electron is repelled by the hydrogen's electron the attraction and repel results in the electron being neutrally affected by the atom
