What else can I help you with?
If an atom has six protons and four neutrons. what is its charge?
The atom that has a Atomic Number of 6 in the periodic table - Carbon
Where are protons found in an atom that do not have any charge called?
All protons have positive charge and are always found in the nucleus of an atom. There are no protons without any charge.
An atom with a positive net charge is called?
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
Why don't all of the particles in an atom contribute to the charge?
In an atom, the charge is primarily determined by the protons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, and their charges balance each other out in a neutral atom. Neutrons, which are also present in the nucleus, carry no charge and therefore do not contribute to the overall charge of the atom. Thus, only the charged particles—protons and electrons—are relevant for determining the atom's net charge.
What charge are neutrons in the magnesium atom?
All neutrons have a negative charge. That is the reason they are called neutrons.
How many atoms are in hydrogen and chlorine?
There is one atom in Hydrogen and one atom in Chlorine. All elements are composed of only one atom.
Why you can say that the chlorine atom is negative?
Chlorine has a tendency to acquire an additional electron in order to complete its outer electron shell, so in an ionic compound it will form an ion with a charge of minus one. However, the chlorine atom is not negative, it is neutral, like all atoms. It only becomes negative when it becomes an ion.
What is Thomson theory?
An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electron embedded in it,The positive and the negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, due to which an atom is electrically neutral. It has no over all negative or positive charge.
A chlorine atom has how many electrons in its outermost shell?
If you mean how many electrons are required for an atom of chlorine to have no charge, the answer is 17 as chlorine has an atomic of 17 so therefore has 17 protons. These protons have a positive charge so it requires 17 negatively charged electrons in order to "balance" the atom.
A What is the difference between an atom and an ion?
All ions are atoms. When the number of protons and electrons in an atom match, the charge is neutral. When there is an imbalance, the atom is an ion. Hydrogen typically has a charge of +1, whereas oxygen typically has a charge of -2. Oxygen therefore readily combines with two hydrogen atoms forming H2O, or water. Sodium (Na) has a +1 charge, while Chlorine (Cl) has a -1 charge. These ions combine to form NaCl, or common table salt.
If an atom has six protons and four neutrons. what is its charge?
The atom that has a Atomic Number of 6 in the periodic table - Carbon
When are all the negative and posive charges equal?
In a neutral atom, both charges are equal.It makes atom stable.
What is the charge of a oxygen atom?
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
Where are protons found in an atom that do not have any charge called?
All protons have positive charge and are always found in the nucleus of an atom. There are no protons without any charge.
Where is all of the positive charge in an atom located?
The nucleus.
Where is all the positive charge in an atom located?
The nucleus.
Is chlorine an atom or molecule?
Chlorine is an element, symbol Cl. All elements are composed of atoms but they can also form molecules. Chlorine gas is composed of molecules of chlorine, composed of two chlorine atoms per molecule, formula Cl2.
