It has a positive charge.
The overall charge is neutral.
Neutral. An atom has as many negative electrons in its shells as there are positive protons in its nucleus. Thus overall the positive and negative charges are balanced out. Should an atom gain or lose an electron it will then become an 'Ion' which will have an overall negative or positive (respectively) charge.
All atoms have the same overall charge with the exception of ionization (electrons are lost or gained). since there are the same amount of protons and electrons in an atom, the negative and positive cancel each other out.
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
The charge of aspartame will be positive
It has a positive charge.
positive
The overall charge is neutral.
It has an overall negative charge :)
An ion, or a positive ion.
A hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule has a slight positive charge, due to the high electronegativity of the nitrogen atom.
# Methane has a carbon atom, ammonia has none # Ammonia has a nitrogen atom, methane has none # Methane has a neutral static charge # Ammonia has a positive static charge # Methane is energetically stable # Ammonia is energetically unstable
A lithium ion has a positive overall charge.
The overall charge of a nucleus is positive. The nucleus is consisted of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have a neutral charge. Electrons have a negative charge but are located in the shell orbiting the nucleus, so their charge is not included in the nucleus' charge. Since the only particles in the nucleus either have a positive or neutral charge, the nucleus will always be positive.
Ammonia is a highly polar molecule. The nitrogen atom in it has a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. The oppositely charged ends of two ammonia atoms attract one another.
Neutral. An atom has as many negative electrons in its shells as there are positive protons in its nucleus. Thus overall the positive and negative charges are balanced out. Should an atom gain or lose an electron it will then become an 'Ion' which will have an overall negative or positive (respectively) charge.
