An atom with no electric charge will be called a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, there is a balance of charges, and the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. It's really that simple. Compare this to atoms that have an imbalance of charges. These atoms are called ions.

∙ 11y agoAn atom that is no longer neutral is called an ion. If it has lost electrons, it will have a positive charge and be called a cation, and the size of its charge is equal to the number of electrons lost. If it has gained electrons, it will have a negative charge and be called an anion, and the size of its charge will be equal to the number of electrons gained.

When an atom is no longer neutral, it exists with a charge. An atom that has a charge is called a _______.?
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
When an atom in no longer neutral it exists with a charge an atom that has a charge is called a?
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
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
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.

What is an atom called that does not have a neutral charge?
ION
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What kind of atom is called a neutral atom?
An atom that has the same amount of protons and electrons has no net charge and therefore is neutral.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What neutral particles in an atom are called?
Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge
What is an atom or group of atoms called that has a neutral charge?
neutron
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Do a neutral atom have a charge?
It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion
What is the charge off a neutral atom?
neutral
