The atomic nucleus is not neutral, it is positively charged (the exact charge depends upon the element in question; the hydrogen nucleus is +1, the helium nucleus is +2, etc). The atom as a whole is electrically neutral, unless it becomes ionized.

What elemnt has 2 Electrons Neutral Atoms?
The answerto that would be Helium.
What is the overall charge of most compounds?
Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.
What is a collection of atoms called?
A large collection of neutral atoms with the same atomic number is a sample of an element. Elements include include lithium, hydrogen, neon, and oxygen. Note that different isotopes of elements exist; these are atoms with the same atomic number but having a different number of neutrons.
What are three important things to know about atoms?
there are more than three important thing to know about atoms there is a table to memorise: position charge mass ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- protons | in nucleus + 1 neutrons |in nucleus 0 (no charge) 1 electrons | around nucleus - 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- there is a way to remember the charges is you see the p in protons as the word positive and you see the n in neutron as the word neutral your all set hope it helped :)
What do dinosaurs have in common with atoms?
Dinosaurs were made up of atoms. Every single object is made up of atoms only. Incidentally most of the animals have same atom in their body. They are there in more or less quantity.
Do neutral atoms stick to positive atoms?
By extreme heat and pressure, neutral atoms stick to positive atoms. Such as in Nuclear fission/ fusion.
What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
What do atoms do that alters there overall neutral charge?
Atoms either gain or lose electrons to change their overall neutral charge.
Is a sulfate an acid base or neutral?
neutral. there is no H or OH atoms
What does an neutron atoms have a charge of?
They are neutral.
What is the neutral pit?
it is the atoms in a object
