What is a particle in an atom with a neutral charge?
A particle in an atom with a neutral charge is a neutron. Neutrons have no electrical charge and are located in the atomic nucleus along with protons. They contribute to the mass of the atom but do not affect its overall charge.
What does atomic mass have to do with the charge of an atom?
First of all, the charge on most atoms is zero. A charged atom is called an ion, and is due to the atom gaining or losing electrons. I assume that you are referring to the charge and mass on the nucleus. Every proton contributes charge and mass. Every neutron contributes only mass. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the two, but due to the fact that different atoms have diffirent isotopes, it is impossible to say, based on mass, what the charge is, or visa versa. For example, most hydrogen nuclei are just single protons. Deuterium has a proton and neutron for a nucleus, and tritium has a proton and 2 neutrons. All of these nuclei have diffirent masses, but same charge.
How do the ways in which the mass and the charge of an atom are distributed differ?
IF it donates an electron -then atom gains positive charge and if it accepts an electron then it acquires negative charge. the mass of an atom is dependent on protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons decide the charge of an atom
What the charge of the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus is the positively charged central mass of an atom.
What increases on a atom when neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom when its neutral?
When neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom, the number of protons remains the same, so the atomic number stays constant. However, the mass number of the atom increases because neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom without affecting its charge.
What particle of a atom has zero or no charge?
The neutron is the particle of an atom that has zero charge. It is located in the nucleus along with protons and contributes to the overall mass of the atom without affecting its charge.
Can you tell the charge of an atom from its mass number?
No, it is impossible.
In an atom the nucleus contains what?
Neutrons (mass = 1 and charge = 0) and Protons (mass = 1 and charge = +1)
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
Where are the poisitive charge and most of the mass found in an atom?
The positive charge in an atom is found in the nucleus, which contains protons. Most of the mass of an atom is also located in the nucleus, primarily from the protons and neutrons that make it up. Electrons, which are negatively charged, contribute very little to the mass of an atom.
Does an atom have a charge?
It depends on the atom. An atom is made of 3 subatomic particles- a negatively charged electron, a positively charged proton, and a neutral neutron. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are different, then the atom has a net charge. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are the same, then the atom is said to be neutrally charged. Changing the number of neutrons affects the mass and therefore important traits of each atom, but does not affect its charge. Atoms that have a net charge are called 'ions.'
What do we call the tiny core at the center of an atom containing most of the atom's mass and all if its positive charge?
The core at the center of an atom is called the nucleus. It contains protons, which have positive charge, and neutrons, which contribute to the mass of the atom.
