What charge is any atom?
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
what charge of an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
All atoms have a blank charge?
If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.
What does an atom have more electrons or protons?
Normally it has an equal amount of both, but it can lose and gain electrons. This gives it an electrical charge. If there are more protons than electrons the charge is positive and if there are more electrons the charge is negative.Added:But charged particles are called IONS, not atoms.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
It has a positive (+) charge.
What charge does ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
It has a positive (+) charge.
What do you get if the number of protons and electrons are not equal?
An ion, which would have a positive charge if there are more protons, and a negative charge id there are more electrons.
How do you know that nickel has a plus two charge?
because it will have more electrons add electrons= add charge
What is the total charge if you have 14 protons 14 neutrons and 12 electrons?
If the atom is stable and neutral, it will have 14 electrons. If it has a positive charge it will have less electrons, and if it has a negative charge it will have more electrons.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
