What charge does the nucleus of an atom hold?

The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. This positive charge is due to the presence of protons in the nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively charged, orbit around the nucleus to balance out the overall charge of the atom.


The nucleus of a fluorine atom has a charge of?

The nucleus of a fluorine atom has a charge of +9. This is because fluorine has 9 protons in its nucleus, each with a charge of +1. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the overall positive charge of the atom.


What is the the charge in the nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons which have no charge and protons which are positively charged, hence the overall charge on the nucleus is always positive.


What is the charge of just the nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. The negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus more or less balances out the positive charge.


What is the charge in coulombs of the nucleus of a chlorine atom?

The charge in coulombs of the nucleus of a chlorine atom is +1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs. This is equivalent to the charge of a proton in the nucleus of the atom.


Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an 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.


What the charge of the nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus is the positively charged central mass of an atom.


What particle of an atom is not electrically charge?

The neutron - found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons (in the nucleus) have a positive charge, electrons (orbiting the nucleus) have a negative charge.


Which part of the atom is found in the center of the atom and has no electric charge?

A neutron has no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.Alternate wording to an inexact question:If you are referring to the nucleus of an atom, there must always be at least one proton. So there has to always be a positive charge. The other component, the neutron, has no charge. The electrons orbiting the nucleus have the negative charge. So if no electrical charge is found in the nucleus, it is not an atom and therefore not a nucleus.


in an atom the particle with no charge is what?

neutran


What has a negative charge and is inside the nucleus of an atom?

Nothing. The only part of an atom with negative charge are the electrons.


Is proton not found in the nucleus of an atom?

No, protons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge and, along with neutrons, make up the nucleus of an atom. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus.
