What is the total charge of an atom with 4 protons 3 neutrons and 5 electrons?

It is a neutral atom - beryllium. The protons and electrons balance each other exactly so there is no overall charge.

(+4 charge) + (-1 charge) = 3.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoProtons and electrons are accounted on charge. Protons give positive charge where that of the electron is negative. Therefore, this atom has +4 -5 = -1 charge.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoHaving the same number of protons and electrons, this atom has no charge. Actually, neutrons do not affect the charge.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoVery probable this atom doesn't exist.

∙ 13y agoThe charge of the ion would be +3

What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?
Consider an atom of oxygen in which the nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. If it is doubly ionized, what is the charge of the oxygen ion and how many electrons remain in the ion?
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in xenon?
The protons and neutrons are packed together in the middle and the electrons have space to move, around them. logically their should be MORE neutrons and protons,but this depends on the size of the atom and how many atoms in the neon. info from SUSSEX UNIVERSITY.
What is the property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons?
That gives you the net charge of the atom. If there is the same amount of protons and electrons, the net charge is zero, and the atom is said to be neutral.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in bismuth 210?
The chemical element, bismuth, has an atomic number of 83. That means that, assuming it's electrically neutral, it has 83 protons and 83 electrons. Since we know that this particular isotope of bismuth has a combined total of 205 protons and neutrons, the total number of subatomic particles in 205Bi; i.e., the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, is 205 + 83 = 288.
What is the total number of protons in an atom that has 24 electrons and 25 neutrons?
There can not be an atom with more electrons than protons, however to find the atomic mass of any atom disregard the electrons and add the number of protons and nuetrons together. The previous answer is correct in that the atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons and in a neutral atom the number of protons and electrons are equal. Atoms have can have a charge, they are then called ions. The way the become charged is either through the loss (oxidation) or gain (reduction) of electrons. Therefore it is possible to have a charged atom with more or less electrons than protons.
What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?
Consider an atom of oxygen in which the nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. If it is doubly ionized, what is the charge of the oxygen ion and how many electrons remain in the ion?
What is the total number of protons and neutrons in sulfur?
Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.
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.
Why is the atomic mass the same as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
The neutrons and protons are in the nucleus which determines the element/isotope. The electrons however define the net charge (ie. positive if there are less electrons then protons and negative if more) and it can be changed more easily, than changing the amount of neutrons . Another reason is that electrons have a tiny mass compared to the protons and neutrons and it wouldn't change the mass number by all that much.
Why is the nucleus's charge positive?
because the nucleus consists of protons and neurons- protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge, therefore in total it is positive. however the nucleus is surronded by electrons which have a negative charge... the same number of protons and electrons cancel eachothers charge but the nucleus has a positive charge because it only has protons, no elecrons
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its what?
The total number of protons plus the total number of neutrons
How do you find an atomic mass?
It is nothing but the total no of protons and electrons .So it is found by summing the total no protons and electrons present in an atom It is not electrons but the total of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of any atom.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are found in phosphorous?
Phosphorus has an atomic no. of 15 and its atomic mass is 31.=we know,atomic no.=number of protons==also, atomic mass=no.of protons+no. of neutrons==this implies, 31=15+no. of neutrons= 31-15=no. of neutrons= 16=no. of neutrons==also,no. of protons=no, of electrons=so, total no. of protons=15total no. of electrons=15total no. of neutrons=16
Must the number of electrons in an atom equal the number of neutrons?
Neutral atoms do, but ions (atoms with charges) by definition do not.
How do protons neutrons and electrons differ in terms of mass electrical charges and locations in the atom?
a neutron's location in an atom is in the core, or nucleus, of that atom, this nucleus is made of both neutrons and protons. the electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus. to picture this, imagine a baseball field. the pitchers mat is the nucleus, and all the remaining area of the field, including the bleachers, is the electron cloud. everyone in that field, when spread out evenly among the field, are the electrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in xenon?

Atoms are made of what?
There is a nucleus in the middle, consisting of protons and neutrons (which are in turn made up of quarks), and around the nucleus there is a 'cloud' of electrons
