the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions

What describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?

The charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred is neutral. This means the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus, resulting in a balanced charge.

Any ion.


What is the overall charge on any atom?

An atom is neutral, and therefore has an overall charge of zero. If an atom either loses or gains electrons through a chemical reaction, or loses protons through radioactive decay, so that it then has an overall charge, it is no longer considered to be an atom but is classified as an ion.


What charge does the nucleus of an atom hold?

The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. This positive charge is due to the presence of protons in the nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively charged, orbit around the nucleus to balance out the overall charge of the atom.


How is the charge on an individual atom represented?

The charge of an atom as a whole is zero. We can give the charge of a nucleus. If any electron, negatively charged one, go out of atom then the atom gets positive charge and it is named as positive ion. Same way if excess electrons get cling with the neutral atom then the atom becomes a negative ion.


What is a atom with a net positiveor negative charge?

Atoms do not have any charge, if they have, they are called as ions.


What is the overall charge of the oxygen atom?

The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.


An ion is an element that has a what charge?

An ion is an atom of any element that either has a positive or negative charge.


What can be said about the number of protons and electrons in an atom Why?

In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged) is the same. This is because the positive charge from protons is balanced by the negative charge from electrons, resulting in a neutral atom.
