Which is a neutural charge?
Neutron has no charge. It is considered as neutral charge.
How many protons does a neutural atom of chlorine have?
An atom of chlorine has 17 protons.
When an atom is no longer neutral it exists with a charge. An atom that has a charge is called a .?
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
Positive charged subatomic particle?
A positively charged subatomic particle is a proton. Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have a charge of +1. They contribute to the overall positive charge of the nucleus and help hold the atom together.
When an atom in no longer neutral it exists with a charge an atom that has a charge is called a?
An ION A positively charged (+) ion is named a CATION A negatively charged (-) ion is named an ANION . NB Once an atoms gains/loses electrons, and becomes a charged species, it is NO longer an atom, but an ION.
What is an atom called when it no longer has a neutral charge?
An atom with no electric charge will be called a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, there is a balance of charges, and the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. It's really that simple. Compare this to atoms that have an imbalance of charges. These atoms are called ions.
What can be said about the number of protons and electrons in an atom Why?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged) is the same. This is because the positive charge from protons is balanced by the negative charge from electrons, resulting in a neutral atom.
What is an atom that is no longer neutral?
An atom that is no longer neutral has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. A positively charged atom is called a cation, while a negatively charged atom is called an anion. These charged atoms are called ions.
How does an atom keep its charge balanced?
An atom contains an equal amount of positively charged particles (protons) and negatively charged particles (electrons). If a atom gains or loses electrons it then gains a charge and is no longer known as an atom; it becomes an ion.
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
When an atom has one or more extra blank it will have a blank charge?
When an atom has one or more extra electrons, it will have a negative charge, becoming an anion. Conversely, if an atom has lost one or more electrons, it will have a positive charge, becoming a cation. This charge imbalance occurs because the number of protons (positively charged) no longer equals the number of electrons (negatively charged).
Why does an atom have an overall neutral charge in regard to subatomic particles?
A proton has a charge of (+1) and an electron has a charge of (-1) and neutrons do not have a charge. In an atom there are an equal numbers of protons and electrons so the charges cancel. If there are a different number of protons and electrons, the particle is no longer an atom, but instead an ion.
