Are electrons neutral?
Electrons are a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral.
What type of charge do electrons carry?
Electrons carry a negative electrical charge. A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
What are the subatomic particles of an atom and what are their charges?
Proton - positive charge (+) Neutron - neutral charge (0) Electron - negative charge (-)
Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?
No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
Is oxygen a negative charge?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
Are electrons neutral?
Electrons are a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral.
Is the neutron positive or negative charge in a necleous?
neutral : neutral charge
Is the charge on beryllium positive negative or neutral?
The charge on beryllium (Be) is neutral.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
Why an electron have a negative charge?
Because the proton has a positive charge and neutral has a neutral!They need a negative and it came the electron!
How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
Does a positron have a negative charge or does a nuetrino have a negative charge?
A positron has a positive charge, and a neutrino has a neutral charge.
Does a neutrino have negative charge?
No, it is neutral - hence the name.
Are neutrons positively charged?
Neutrons do not have any electric charge at all but are neutral - hence the name. Even the neutron's antimatter menifestation, the antineutron, is neutral.
What type of charge do electrons carry?
Electrons carry a negative electrical charge. A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
What is the negative positive and neutral charge in an atom called?
Proton, Electron, and Neutron +- = ----- So basically, Negative Charge-Electon Positive Charge- Proton Neutral Charge- Neutron
