In an atom which molecule is responsible for deciding the charge?

molecules are made from atoms not the other way round - this question is a little ambiguous and needs rewording. A molecule also does not have charge (not net charge anyway) - it can have a dipole - or be polar like water

Does an ion atom or molecule have an electric charge?
yes
What is polar in chemestry?
An atom or a molecule which has charge or a bond where the two atoms have partial charges.
Why are ions made?
Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
The oxygen atom in a water molecule has a slight negative charge?
Yes, and the hydrogen atoms carry a slight positive charge.
When an atom loses electron what do molecules do?
When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
What type of charge does a hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule have?
A hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule has a slight positive charge, due to the high electronegativity of the nitrogen atom.
Do molecule have charge?
No. Molecules do not have charge. Ions have a charge. If a compound is has more than one atom and a charge, then it is a poly-atomic ion, not a molecule.
When type of atom has an uneven charge?
Polar molecule
An ion an atom or molecule that?
Carries an electric charge
Does an ion atom or molecule have an electric charge?
yes
What parts of the atom are concerned with charge?
The electron is responsible for the negative charge while the proton in responsible for the positive charge.
What charge does 2 electrons have?
2 unbalanced electrons have a 2- charge on the molecule/atom
Is the charge on a diatomic molecule called the oxidation number?
No. The oxidation number is the charge on the atom of an element, or if the bonding is covalent, what that charge would be if that bonding were ionic. A "molecule" with an electrical charge would be a polyatomic ion, not a molecule.
What is the electron part of an atom responsible for?
Negative charge
What is an atom or molecule with electric charge?
In chemistry, particles with an overall electric charge are called ions.
Does a bond connect two atoms using electromagnetic force?
Yes, that's the general principle behind a chemical bond. Typically one part of the molecule, or single atom, will have a charge that is the opposite of a nearby atom or molecule. This opposing charge is responsible for a mutual attraction via the electromagnetic force. Similarly, if two particles have the same charge, they will repel each other as a result of the electromagnetic force.
Which kind of elctrical charge if found on the oxygen atom of a polar water molecule?
a partially negative charge.
