What electric charge is in atoms with equal numbers of electrons and protons?

A proton and an electron possess equal amount of charge (about 1.6e-19 C), except that a proton carries a positive charge and an electron, negative. Hence, the net charge is nil -- the atom is electrically neutral.

∙ 13y agoThe atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
Wiki User
∙ 11y agodepends on the number of neutrons and electrons
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere is no definite answer to this question. The charge on an atom is the difference (if any) between the numbers of protons and electrons; neutrons are irrelevant to charge.

∙ 11y agono charge.
the atom will be neutral
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIf you have equal protons and electrons, the charge of the atom is zero.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoZero. As both of them are having same but apposite charge, net charge will be zero.
Wiki User

Protons have no electric charge?
Protons do have positive electrical charge with value 1.6 x 10-19 C. Photons of course don't have electrical charge Positrons are anti particles of electrons and they have same charge as that of proton. Neutrons don't have electrical charge.
Does Neutral potassium atoms contain more protons than electrons?
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.
Electrons and protons differ in their?
Mass, electric charge, and internal structure.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
Most atoms have equal numbers of?
an atom has a no charge or has a net charge zero as it contains equal number of electrons and protons .for example a sodium atom Na has 11 protons and 11 electrons .mathematically +11_11 =0 hence no charge .
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

The electric change of protons in the nucleus is the?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
How do the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in an atom with a neutral charge?
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
What does an atom with a no charge have?
Equal numbers of protons and electrons.
What is the difference between a proton an an electron?
Protons and Electrons are actually quite different. Protons have a positive electric charge, while electrons have a negative electric charge. Atoms usually have the same number of protons and electrons, which means they balance each other out giving a neutral electric charge. If there are more of either protons or electrons, the atom will have an overall charge. (Negative or Positive). Protons are also located in the nucleus with the neutrons, while electrons are located in the outer shells surrounding the nucleus.
What particles have electric charges?
Electrons have a negative charge Protons have a positive charge Neutrons are neutral I hope this helps
What do the charge of electrons equal in a neutral atom?
The negative charge of the electrons equals the positive charge of the protons in a neutral atom. In other words, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal.
What does the number of protons in a atom equal?
Atoms that are neutral must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Thus, for the charge to be neutral, the numbers of these particles must be equal.
Why are atoms said to be electrical neutral?
because it normally does not have a electric charge If an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral.
