Atoms in their stable state have equal number of protons and electrons.
If an atom loses one electron, it gains one positive charge- electrophile in terms or organic chemistry. If an atom gains one electrons it has overall negative charge or no charge if the incoming electron completes the valence occupancy.
What else can I help you with?
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Which particles in atoms have a positive charge?
Protons have a positive charge in atoms.
Is the charge indicated on neutral atoms?
Yes, neutral atoms have a charge of zero.
How do atoms unite with other atoms?
Atoms with the same charge are pushed away from each other. Atoms with different charge attract (unite)
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
How could some atoms have a charge?
when u run and get a lot of energy, your atoms have a charge.
What atoms have no overall charge?
Atoms with no overall charge are called neutral atoms. They have the same number of protons, which carry a positive charge, and electrons, which carry a negative charge. This balance of positive and negative charges leads to a neutral overall charge for the atom.
Why is an atom itself chargeless?
In order to maintain charge neutrality, all atoms will have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
How are molecules atoms that carry no charge?
Molecules are not atoms, but are made up of several atoms. The individual atoms may carry a charge, but when combined, the molecule as a whole does not.
