Equal numbers of protons and electrons.
what changes the charge of the atom
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
The charge of electrons in an atom is negative, with a magnitude of -1. This negative charge is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the positive charge of protons in the nucleus, which helps maintain the overall neutrality of the atom.
The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The charge of an atom overall is neutral, as the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) in a neutral atom.
The property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons is the net charge of the atom. If the total charge of protons equals the total charge of electrons, the atom is neutral. If there is a difference between the two, the atom becomes either positively or negatively charged.
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.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
