The net charge is the charge that there is more of in an object. For example, if an object has 5 electrons (negative charges) and 4 protons (positive charges), then the net charge is negative because there are more electrons in the object. If the object gains 2 protons through the transfer of electric charge then the net charge becomes positive. However, if the object loses 1 proton to have an equal amount of both protons and electrons, then the net charge becomes nuetral.

∙ 14y agoNet charge is the charge on a whole compound instead of each separate ion.
For example let's say you have the ionic compound sodium sulfide (Na2S.) The sodium by itself has a charge of 1+, written as Na+. The sulfur by itself has a charge of 2-, which you would write like S2-. By themselves, both of these ions have charges, but when you combine them together to make Na2S, they have a "net charge," or charge of both of them together, of zero. This is because when you add their charges together, 2(I+) + 1(2-) it equals zero. Therefore this compound has a net charge of zero.
If it asks for the number of each ion needed for a net charge of zero, you would say that for each S2- ion you would need two Na+ ions. This way their charges would add up to equal zero.

∙ 13y agoThe net atomic charge of any atom is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus, or its atomic number, which is drawn from that. This will be true regardless of which isotope of an element we consider. Let's look at an example to make our point.
We know that the element iron (Fe) has three stable isotopes. They are Fe-56, Fe-57, and Fe-58. All iron atoms have 26 protons in their nucleus, so all iron atoms, regardless of which isotope, have a +26 charge on their nuclei. The same thinking can be applied to any (and every) element on the Periodic Table.

The net charge of an elemental atom is zero, or neutral. The net charge of an ionic atom is determined by how many electrons the atom has in comparison to the number of protons the atom has.

What is the net charge for any compound?
Net charge is zero in order for the anion to be balanced
Ar 4s2 3d10 4p5?
This is the electron orbital configuration for Antimony as an atom with no net charge. Antimony has the atomic number of 51, so for a net charge, adjust accordingly.
Do the polyatomic ions meet the requirements to be called compounds?
No, because part of the definition of a compound is a requirement for lack of net electric charge, but any ion by must have a net electric charge.
What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
Does h2 have a net charge?
No, h2 does not have a net charge. It is a neutral molecule.
An ion of iron has an 26 protons 30 neutrons and 23 electrons. What are its atomic number atomic mass and net charge?
Atomic number : 26Atomic mass : 55.845 Net charge : +3
Which atomic particle has an atomic mass of one amu but no net charge?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
What subatomic particle has no net charge?
In the atomic nucleus the neutron has no electrical charge.
What is the net charge for any compound?
Net charge is zero in order for the anion to be balanced
What type of charge do compounds have-?
By definition, all compounds must have a net electrical charge of 0.
What number is always equal to what so that an atom has no electrical charge in its normal state?
Electrons are equal to atomic number to have no net charge on an atom
What is the atomic number atomic mass and net charge of an atom of iron?
Atomic Number: This is the number of protons an element has. Answer: 26 Atomic Mass: Ignoring electrons, which are incredibly small and don't have much of an effect on the mass... This is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons Answer: 56 (26 protons + 30 neutrons) Net Charge: Protons are positive and electrons are negative. The net charge can be found by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. 0 is neutral. Answer: +3 (26 protons - 23 electrons).
An Ion with a mass of 209 and atomic number of 84 and net charge of 4 plus?
Po+4.
What do mean by effective nuclear charge?
Effective nuclear charge is the net charge of an electron in an atom.Z(eff) = Z - S where:Z - atomic numberS - number of shielding electrons
Ar 4s2 3d10 4p5?
This is the electron orbital configuration for Antimony as an atom with no net charge. Antimony has the atomic number of 51, so for a net charge, adjust accordingly.
