All atoms are neutral because the positive and negative charges within the atom are equal. The number of protons (+) and the number of electrons (-) are the same.
Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge. A cation is a positively charged atom with less electrons than protons. An anion is a negatively charged atom with more electrons than protons.

What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
What is the group of atoms which behaves as if it were a unit with a charge is called?
Ions. Usually negative ions, but not always.
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
How do atoms unite with other atoms?
Atoms with the same charge are pushed away from each other. Atoms with different charge attract (unite)
What atoms have no overall charge?
Atoms, by definition, have no charge. If they had charges, they would be called ions.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Do atoms always have an electric charge?
It depends on what type of particles it has and if it was joined in an ionic bond.
What is the group of atoms which behaves as if it were a unit with a charge is called?
Ions. Usually negative ions, but not always.
What does a neutral charge have?
It depends. Neutral atoms have numerous types and classifications. There are happy, sad, angry, and indifferent atoms in the neutral group. Also, isotonic and philanthropic atoms will always have positive charges. The contrapositives and monolithics always are negative.
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
How do atoms unite with other atoms?
Atoms with the same charge are pushed away from each other. Atoms with different charge attract (unite)
How are molecules different from atoms?
Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.
How could some atoms have a charge?
when u run and get a lot of energy, your atoms have a charge.
