If an atom has 17 protons 13 neutrons and 19 electrons what is the atoms electrical charge?

An atom with 17 protons and 19 electrons has a charge of -2, due to the excess of electrons.
An atom with 17 protons, 13 neutrons, and 19 electrons is an ion of the isotope Chlorine-30, which has a half life of less than 30 nanoseconds, so that atom will not exist very long.

The electrical charge is 17 - 19 = -2 The electrical charge.
, NOT atom
However, the element with 17 protons is number 17 in the Periodic Table, and that element is Chlorine.
The Atomic Mass is 17 + 16 = 33 . So it will be the isotope Chlorine-33. Furthermore chlorine only exhibits the anion Cl^- (- 1). Except under very controlled conditions the anion Cl^2- does not exist.
NB When an atom's charges ( protons and electrons) are NOT equal , they are no longer atoms but IONS. A positive ion is named a CATION and a negative ion is named an ANION.

14 protons - 16 electrons = -2 charge. However, this is not likely to actually happen, since 14 protons makes it silicon... considerably more likely to give up electrons than accept them. It's particularly unlikely to accept two electrons, since that doesn't even give it an octet.

∙ 14y agoThe atom will be an ion as it will have an over all charge of -2. Protons are positive and have a charge of +1, neutrons have no charge so are 0, and electrons are negative so have a charge of -1. it can't change

∙ 10y agoAn atom with 16 protons in the nucleus is Sulphur [Sulfur] However it requires more than 12 neutrons in the nuleus for the atom to be stable and so the question of electrical charge cannot be answered in any factually accurate way that reflects facts from the real world.

an atom has 17 protons and 19 electrons. As we know protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. In this atom electron number is higher than proton number. it means this atom will bear negative charge. Now the question is how much negative charge it will bear?
19-17=2
so the answer is this atom will have -2 charge.

The ion's ,not atoms, electrical charge is '-2' , and would be represented as the anion X^2-.

∙ 14y ago-2, protons minus electrons equals charge. Neutrons are neutral, they have no charge.
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago-1, protons are positive neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative, ergo 16-17= -1

∙ 14y agoIt would have a positive charge of 3 because there are 3 more protons than electrons
whereas a neutron is electrically neutral.

A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
Describe the three types of small particles within an atom and explain how they are arranged?
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
What two particles are in the nucleus?
(The constituent particles of an atom are the electron, the proton and the neutron; all three are fermions. However, the hydrogen-1 atom has no neutrons and the hydron ion has no electrons.) WIkipedia
What particle is found in the nucleus?
Atoms are conformed of three kinds of particles: neutrons, protons and electrons. The nucleus is conformed by protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge.
Is it true that the nucleus is an atomic particle that has no atomic change?
the nucleus is made of protons and neutrons together. the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge [electrons circle the nucleus and have a negative charge]
What is the Definition of neutrons protons and electrons?
Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge
What do protons and electrons have but neutrons don't?
Protons and electrons have an electrical charge.
What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
What electrical charge does each have electrons protons neutrons?
Electrons: Negative Protons: Positive Neutrons: Neutral
What kind of elicctcal charge do protons elictrons and nutrons have?
Protons have an electrical charge of +1. Neutrons have an electrical charge of 0. Electrons have an electrical charge of -1.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
What is the electrical charge of the components of an atom?
Neutrons have no charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
What do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
What are protons neutrons and electrons hint charge?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge
What kinds of electral charge do protons electrons and neutrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
What kind of electrical charge electrons and protons and neutrons have?
e -p +n 0
What charge does subatomic particle of atom have?
Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge Neutrons: without electrical charge
