The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, and electrons orbit the nucleus. Protons have a POSITIVE charge and neutrons are NEUTRAL. So the nucleus of an atom has neutral charges in it, but it is not primarily made up of them.

Where is the positive ad negative charge located in an atom?

In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).


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.


What are the charges of all subatomic particles?

The protons, which are positively charged, and the neutrons, which have no charge (which are electrically neutral) make up the nuclei of atoms. The electrons, which are negatively charged, will be found far from the nucleus in the electron cloud.


How do electric charges relate to parts of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons. Neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge so the nucleus is positively charged. Around the nucleus there are orbiting electrons which are negatively charged. The positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge of the atom neutral


Indentify the names charges and locations of three kinds of particles that make up an atom?

Protons are positively charged particles located in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons are neutral particles also found in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in various energy levels.


In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?

Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.


What does positive and negative charges make?

They stem from the nucleus of an atom. The atom is composed of electrons, which emit a negative charge, protons which emit positive charges and neutrons which have a neutral charge. When an atom, had a plus positive or minus negative charged, it is called an ion. ion because it either has an extra electron giving it a negative charge, or its missing an electron, giving it a positive charge


What subatomic particles make up the nucleus of an atom and what are their charges?

Neutrons: 0Protons: +1


How do atoms remain neutral?

Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.


Why is an atom neutral as whole?

It depends on which neutrality one is referring to. Regarding ions: an atom in its "normal" state, it has the same amount of electrons as protons and is electrically neutral. In case of electron(s) moving to make a "full electron shell", charge changes to positive or negative, thus non-neutral, and called ion instead.


What describes the subatomic particles that make up the atom's nucleus?

The 2 Particles that make up an Atomic Nucleus are:1. The positively charged Proton.and2. The changeless, or neutral Neutron.


What two particles make up the nucleus?

The protons and the neutrons make up the nucleus. The protons are equal to the number of electrons and is also the atomic number of that element.
