"Complete atom" sounds like a neutral atom - same number of protons and electrons. If you add or remove some electrons, you will have a non-zero electric charge.
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
The charge of an atom who captured a single elektron is - or -1
A complete atom has zero charge because it has an equal number of positive protons and negative electrons.
"Complete atom" sounds like a neutral atom - same number of protons and electrons. If you add or remove some electrons, you will have a non-zero electric charge.
By the complete transfer of electrons from atom to another.
Elements have no charge. It is when an atom loses or gains electrons to complete its outer shell that it becomes an ionand has a charge. In Magnesium's case, its ion has a charge of 2+
what changes the charge of the atom
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
