All atoms have a blank charge?
If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.
When does an atom not have a net electrical charge?
Atoms are neutrally charged if they have equal numbers of protons and electrons. Technically speaking, all atoms have no net electrical charge - ions have a positive/negative charge.
Is oxygen atom has an overall negative charge with the hydrogen atoms having an overall positive 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.
Most atoms have either a positive or negative charge?
No they do not. I don't think atoms have a positive or negative charge at all because atoms have the same amount of protons and electrons. Ions are a different story, however...This site explains the charges of atoms and ions better then I can, check it out.http://indiescience.org/basetalk/index.php?board=3.0
What charge atoms always have?
All atoms are neutral because the positive and negative charges within the atom are equal. The number of protons (+) and the number of electrons (-) are the same. Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge. A cation is a positively charged atom with less electrons than protons. An anion is a negatively charged atom with more electrons than protons.
All atoms have a blank charge?
If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.
Does an atoms nucleus have a positive or negative charge?
it cant have any charge at all. atoms have an equal amount of protons and neutron therefore the give off no charge. if they did give off a charge they would no longer be atoms they would be ions
What is a partical in an atom with no charge?
Atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. And neutrons have no charge at all.
When does an atom not have a net electrical charge?
Atoms are neutrally charged if they have equal numbers of protons and electrons. Technically speaking, all atoms have no net electrical charge - ions have a positive/negative charge.
Describe the charges and types of particles that make up all atoms?
The three particles that make up an atom are:electron,proton and neutron. ELECTRON has a negative charge PROTON has a positive charge and NEUTRON has a neutral charge i.e, it contains an equal number of positive and negative charge
Is a oxygen and hydrogen atom a positive or negative charge?
All atoms are generally neutral species.
Is oxygen atom has an overall negative charge with the hydrogen atoms having an overall positive 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.

What charge is a nucleus?
neutral
Do all atoms contain proton neutron and electron?
yes, all normal atoms do, but there are things called ions and isotopes that have fewer or more electrons and neutrons
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
Atoms have no overall electric charge?
No. Atoms can indeed have an overall charge. They can be positive, wherein they have a deficit of electrons, or they can be negative, wherein they have a surplus of electrons. This is called an ionic state.
