An atom can be neutral or electrically charged (anion-negative charge, cation-posititve charge); the electrons are negative charged elementary particles.
neither, its neutral
The outer shell of an atom is populated by electrons, which have a negative charge. Protons, which have a positive charge hang out in the nucleus of the atom.
In this scenario, the atom is electrically neutral. The positive charge of the nucleus is exactly balanced by the negative charges of the surrounding electrons, resulting in a stable and neutral atom.
Negative: The negative part of an atom is the electrons which have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. Positive: The positive part of an atom is the nucleus which contains protons with a positive charge.
Neutral atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The positive charge of the protons is balanced out by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Neutral - the atom will have no charge.
the atom isn't negative because theirs still positive and neutral parts inside of it
The overall charge of the atom is neutral. The nucleus contains neutrons (neutral) and protons (positive) making it positive. There are electrons (negative) outside the nucleus, so the positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge neutral.
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of zero. This balance of positive and negative charges keeps the atom electrically neutral.
Atoms can have a positive, negative, or neutral charge. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge (neutral). The overall charge of an atom is determined by the balance of protons and electrons.
