An alpha particle has a charge of +2 (elementary charges), since it contains two protons.
NO, they have a negative charge.
positive
positive
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
Protons- positive Nuetrons-nuetral electons-negative
A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but because there are the same number of them, they cancel each other out.
If this atom has 43 electron it must have 43 protons to be a neutral atom of no charge.
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
Well an electron is negative so negative i guess But The atom is always neutral because the number of protons = electons
Two electrons to match the positively charged protons. Neutrons are neutral and add nothing either way to charge.
