It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.

Why are a neutral atoms positive and negative charges balanced?
For the atom to be neutral, the positive and negative charges must cancel each other out.
What kind of charged particles does an atom contain?
The nucleus of an atom contains the neutral neutrons and the positive protons. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
An atom that is balanced or stable has the same number of negative charges as it does positive charges therefore you know that a balanced atom has an equal number of electron and?
protons and electrons .!.
Does an atom change with positive charges?
When an atom gains a positive charge it either gains a proton or gains an electron It could also lose one of them
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Atoms have higher number of positive charges than negative charges?
the positive number of a atom
How does an atom become electrically charged?
The atom gets negative charges and positive charges from other things.
How many positive charges are in a atom?
3
Why are a neutral atoms positive and negative charges balanced?
For the atom to be neutral, the positive and negative charges must cancel each other out.
What are the charges of the atom?
The charges of an atom are, protons are positive (+). Neutrons has a neutral charge or no charge(0) and electrons have a negative charge (-).
What contains electrical charges in atom?
Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.
Who describe the atom as negative charges scattered though a ball of positive charges?
protons
What will be the charge of an atom be if it has an equal number of positive and negative charges?
Neutral - the atom will have no charge.
What atom is not going to have a positive charge?
none. they would explode if there were no positive with negative charges
What kind of charged particles does an atom contain?
The nucleus of an atom contains the neutral neutrons and the positive protons. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
