What else can I help you with?
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Is a atom positive or negative?
neither, its neutral
Is the shell of the atom neutral positive or negative?
An atom can be neutral or electrically charged (anion-negative charge, cation-posititve charge); the electrons are negative charged elementary particles.
Is chlorine positives or negative?
The atom is neutral; the ion chloride is negative.
Compare the number of electrons of a negative ion to that of the neutral atom include both negative ion and neutral atom in your answer?
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
What is the atom If Positive Charge Of An Atom Nucleus Exactly Balances The Negative Charges Of The Surrounding Electrons?
In this scenario, the atom is electrically neutral. The positive charge of the nucleus is exactly balanced by the negative charges of the surrounding electrons, resulting in a stable and neutral atom.
Why isn't an atom negative?
the atom isn't negative because theirs still positive and neutral parts inside of it
What property does a neutral atom have?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of zero. This balance of positive and negative charges keeps the atom electrically neutral.
What will be the charge of an atom be if it has an equal number of positive and negative charges?
Neutral - the atom will have no charge.
Why are a neutral atoms positive and negative charges balanced?
Neutral atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The positive charge of the protons is balanced out by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
What happens to a neutral atom that accepts one electron?
The neutral atom then takes on a negative charge because the incoming electron has a negetive charge.
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
