A nucleus contains only positrons and neutrons, which have a positive and neutral charge, respectively. The electrons (with a negative charge) orbit around the nucleus. So, a nucleus in and of itself is positively charged.

Why is an atom electrically neutral?
An atom has the same number of positive protons and negative electrons so the charges balance out to zero
What is an electrically neutral subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom?
neutron
Which subatomic particle is electrically neutral and is found in the nucleus of an atom?
This is the neutron.
Is the magnesium atom electrically neutral or electrically charged?
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral.
Nucleon is electrically neutral it is called?
A nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons and neutrons are nucleons, and the neutronis the electrically neutral nucleon.
Are most atoms neutral?
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.
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?
Even an electron excited to a higher than normal energy level remains sufficiently close to the nucleus of its atom that the atom as a whole remains neutral.
Is nucleus of an atom is electrically neutral?
A nucleus contains only positrons and neutrons, which have a positive and neutral charge, respectively. The electrons (with a negative charge) orbit around the nucleus. So, a nucleus in and of itself is positively charged.
What is an example of an electrically neutral atom?
An electrically neutral atom is one that has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Which best describes the relationship between subatomic particles in any neutral atom?
Protons are electrically positive charged, electrons are electrically negative charged, neutrons are electrically neutral. The number of electrons and protons is equal in a neutral atom. Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus, electrons on electron shells, forming electron clouds.
Which atom is electrically neutral?
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
