Normally, atoms do not have a charge, but if they are ionic, they have either a positive or negative charge, normally with the addition or loss of electrons.
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
The charge of an atom who captured a single elektron is - or -1
what changes the charge of the atom
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
