The negative charge of the electrons equals the positive charge of the protons in a neutral atom. In other words, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal.
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
An atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons will be neutral and have no charge.
No, if an atom is neutral the number of electrons and protons will be equal. Neutrons have no charge and do not affect the overall charge of the atom.
Protons and electrons must be equal in a neutral atom because protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
The overall charge of an aluminum atom is neutral, as it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). A neutral atom of aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons.
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
A neutral atom with 22 protons would have 22 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) to balance the overall charge to zero.
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
Yes, the atom will be electrically neutral. This is because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge), balancing out the overall charge of the atom.
An atom with a neutral charge has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). This balance of positive and negative charges results in the overall charge of the atom being zero.
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
