The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.

What number of protons represents the number of?
positive charge in the atom
What does the number of protons represent?
positive charge in the atom
What identifies the number of an atom?
An atom consists of protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge). The atomic number is the number of protons. Furthermore, the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
How much charge does a neucleus have?
the nucleus of an atom has a positive charge equal to the number of protons in the atom.
Which particle of the atom has a positive charge?
protons have positive charge
What is the charge of the nucleus of an atom and?
The positive charge of the atomic nucleus is given by the number of protons.
The charge on a nucleus of the atom?
The charge of the atomic nucleus is positive and dependent on the number of protons.
What is a position and charge in a atom?
Protons (from the nucleus) have a positive charge and electrons (from the electron cloud) have a negative charge. A normal atom is neutral, because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
How does the number of electrons cmpare with the number of protons in a neutral atom?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons and the number of electrons is the same. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. If the numbers of each are equal, then the charges cancel out to zero and the atom is neutral.
What is the charge on a complete atom?
A complete atom has zero charge because it has an equal number of positive protons and negative electrons.
What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.
