Best Answer

you would add the appropiate number of positive atoms to balence out the atom. for example if an atom has a charge of -5 you would add 5 positvly charged atoms to make the overall charge 0. that will make it a neutral atom.

I think..

If the ion was made with an acid, you neutralize it with a base of the same strength.

It the ion was made with a base, you neutralize it with an acid of the same strength.

You'll know what acid/base to use if you can find a chart showing source acid/base used to make the ion.

Is the shell of the atom neutral positive or negative?

An atom can be neutral or electrically charged (anion-negative charge, cation-posititve charge); the electrons are negative charged elementary particles.


What is the charge of an atom that gains an electron?

since electrons are negative, you would subtract one from the original charge of the atom. For example, is the atom was neutral, the charge would then be 1-


What kind of charged particles does an atom contain?

The nucleus of an atom contains the neutral neutrons and the positive protons. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.


Can a charged atom attract a neutral atom?

Yes, by example:iodide ion and iodine molecule to form a complex ion:I- + I2 --> I3-


A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of what?

A neutal atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of an electron.


If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?

it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron


Is an atom postively charged negatively charged or neutral?

The overall charge of the atom is neutral. The nucleus contains neutrons (neutral) and protons (positive) making it positive. There are electrons (negative) outside the nucleus, so the positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge neutral.


Is this atom an ion?

No.... an atom is not an ion.... ions have a positive or negative charge... Atoms are neutral


Does atom has a charge of positive 1?

Atoms are neutral. Ions can be charged, either positive or negative.


Why cant an atom have one proton one neutron and two electrons?

Well seeing as how neutral atom is meaning neither a positive or a negative charge and a proton is positively charged an electron is negatively charged If you had 2 electrons the balance would kinda be disrupted wouldn't it? Because then your nuetral atom would in fact be negative.


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 bigger a neutral atom or a negative atom?

neutral atom
