Atoms are electrically neutral.
Charged species are known as ions.
atoms
A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.
An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) with an electrical charge.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
the electrical charge excites the atoms and creates a plasma state that emits light
Ion
only the ones that lose a electron.
It is an ion.
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
No. Atoms in polar bonds carry partial charges.
The electrical charge of aluminum is typically neutral. Aluminum atoms have 13 protons in the nucleus and 13 electrons surrounding the nucleus, giving it an overall neutral charge.
