it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
atoms
A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.
An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) with an electrical charge.
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
the electrical charge excites the atoms and creates a plasma state that emits light
No. Atoms in polar bonds carry partial charges.
Ion
only the ones that lose a electron.
It is an ion.
The electrical charge of aluminum is typically neutral. Aluminum atoms have 13 protons in the nucleus and 13 electrons surrounding the nucleus, giving it an overall neutral charge.
