What else can I help you with?
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
What is the positive charge atoms called?
The positive -charge in an atom is called the proton.They are held in the nucleus with the neutrons.
How do particles of in atoms differ in electric charge?
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons possess no charge.
Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
What is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge is called?
Such charged particles are known as ions. A positively charged ion is called a cation; a negatively charged particle is called an anion.Ions: cation (positive charge) and anion (negative charge)
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?
An atom that carries an electric charge is called an ion, not a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms that have no charge. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
What atoms have no overall charge?
Atoms with no overall charge are called neutral atoms. They have the same number of protons, which carry a positive charge, and electrons, which carry a negative charge. This balance of positive and negative charges leads to a neutral overall charge for the atom.
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
