electrical equilibrium.
This means that the number of positively charged protons in the atom's nucleus will be the the same as the number of negatively charged electrons in the atoms electron shells. The positive and negatives charges therefore balance out.
If an atom gains or loses and electron, it ceases to be electrically neutral and becomes an "ion".
What else can I help you with?
Why is an atom electically neutral?
A neutral atom has the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negatrive particles).
What is neutral particles of an atom?
Neutron
In terms of its particles which is an atom considered neutral?
A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons.
How Can Atoms Be Neutral if they are made up of changed particles?
The Atom is neutral because the charged particles sum to zero,m thus neutral. The positive charges are in the nucleus and the negative particles are the electrons. The sum is zero and the atom is neutral.
Explain why Oxygen atom are neutral?
Oxygen atoms are neutral because they have the same number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged particles, while electrons are negatively charged particles. The positive charge of the protons is balanced out by the negative charge of the electrons in an oxygen atom, resulting in a neutral overall charge.
Neutral particles of an atom are called?
Neutrons
What is the neutral particles in the nucleus of the atom?
neutron
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
Neutral particles in the nucleus of an atom are called?
Neutrons
What is the name of a neutral particles found in the nucleus of the atom?
NEUTRONS
What are the neutral particles in an atom?
The neutral particles in an atom are the neutrons, located in the nucleus along with protons. Neutrons have no charge, unlike protons which are positively charged and electrons which are negatively charged.
Is it true that the negatively charged particles of an atom are nuetrons?
No. The negatively charged particles of an atom are called electrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge.
