The overall charge is the amount of protons minus the number of electrons.
You mean, what happens when positive and negative charges are equal? That is simple, the equal opposite cancel each other out and we have an electrical neutrality
charges can be added i.e. total charge on a system is algebraic sum of individual charges
Atoms have equal number of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles and some particles having no charge. Since numbers of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles are equal the NET charge as whole is zero.
Follow a few rules called conservation of charge and conservation of mass number. Add all charges on the left (protons and beta particles) and this must equal the total charge on the right. Total of mass numbers on the left must equal the total of mass numbers on the right.
Usually, the total charge of plasma is neutral. Of course, there are exceptions. As the atoms are energized, electrons are released into the system. That release leaves a bunch of positive and negative charges.
There are particles within the atom that are charged. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have a neutral charge(in other words they have no electrical charge). If you take a look at the website below, the blue circles in the centre represent neutrons, with no charge, and the red circles are protons, with a positive electrical charge. The gray spheres orbiting around the nucleus(centre of the atom with most of the mass) represent electrons, which have a negative charge and weigh about 1/2000 of the mass of a proton/neutron. visitthis site http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Stylised_Lithium_Atom.svg/180px-Stylised_Lithium_Atom.svg.png
it is because the total number of positive and negative charges remain equal throughout, so the Semi condt is always neutral in state.
Nickle ions, Ni+3, will bind to oxygen ions, O-2, in a ratio that depends on their charges since the total positive charges in the molecule must equal the total negative charges. The eventual number of positive and negative charges is found by the least common multiple of the charges. In this instance, the charges are 3 and 2. The least common multiple is 6, so two atoms of the Ni+3 are needed to have a total positivie charge of +6, and three O-2 are needed to have a total negative charge of -6 to provide the electrical balance. The resulting molecule is Ni2O3.

Nothing. The overall charge remains the same.
yes. molecular compound is neutral. if a compound has charges, that's known as ionic compound.
The positive and negative charges are equal in magnitude (absolute value).
