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.

A substance has 34 positive charges and 34 negative charges what is the overall charge?

The overall charge is neutral.


Why is the overall charge of a water molecule 0?

The reason why the overall charge of a water molecule is zero is because the number of positive hydrogen ions and the number of negative hydroxide ions are equal, so they cancel each other out.


What is an atoms overall electrical charge?

Neutral. An atom has as many negative electrons in its shells as there are positive protons in its nucleus. Thus overall the positive and negative charges are balanced out. Should an atom gain or lose an electron it will then become an 'Ion' which will have an overall negative or positive (respectively) charge.


What contains a positive charge hydrogen-ions hydroxide-ions electrons or neutrons?

Hydrogen ions are H+Hydroxide ions are OH-neutrons are written n and have no chargeelectrons are written e- and have a negative charge.So only hydrogen ions, H+, has a positive charge.


What is positive about NH3 Nitrogen has a strong positive charge hydrogen is negative or they are covalently bonded?

they are covalently bonded


How did Thomson determine that there was also positive charges found in atoms?

He knew there were electrons which have negative charges, but the overall charge of the atom was zero. There had to be positive atoms for this to be true, because negative and positive charges cancel each other out in order for the overall charge to be zero.


When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?

No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.


What is the overall charge of an ionic compound?

it is always equal to zero.The overall charge of a formula unit for an ionic compound is zero. The numbers of positive and negative ions are such that the sum of the positive charges and the negative charges is zero.
