How did Thompson explain the over all neutral charge of the atom?

Hepostulated (he was wrong) the existence of a 'sticky' substance like pudding that had a positive charge that the electrons was stuck in. Like plum pudding. Electrons were like plums actual particles with negative charges. The pudding was just a smear of stuff with a positive charge and held the atom together.

What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
What is the charge of an atom in an elements?
neutral
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
What is over all charge on a chlorine atom?
The chlorine atom is neutral.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
Explain why an atom of sodium is neutral?
It is neutral because it has 11 positive protons and 11 negative electrons, balancing the overall electrical charge.
Explain why a neutral atom cannot have one proton one neutron and two electrons?
an atom with a neutral charge must have the same number of protons as electrons. (think of a proton as having a +1 charge and an electron having a -1 charge. in order for the atom to be neutral, the positive charges must balance with the negative charges) If the atom has 1 proton and 2 electrons, then the overall charge is -1
Do a neutral atom have a charge?
It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion
What is the charge off a neutral atom?
neutral
What is aluminum overall charge of an atom?
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
When there is an equal number of electrons and protons in an atom what is the charge?
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
How do electrons an portons make a neutral charge an neutron result in a neutral charged atom?
An atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons will be neutral and have no charge.
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
What is the charge of an atom in an elements?
neutral
Does an atom have charge?
No, atoms are neutral
