The charge of an atom's nucleus is equal to the number of protons in that atom. (Always positive)
The nucleus only contains protons and neutrons. The protons each have a positive charge of one. The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to charge.
Example: Hydrogen has one proton so the nucleus has a charge of +1, where carbon has 12 protons so the nuclear charge is +12.
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons which have no charge and protons which are positively charged, hence the overall charge on the nucleus is always positive.
The charge of any Nucleus is Neutral.
The neutron - found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons (in the nucleus) have a positive charge, electrons (orbiting the nucleus) have a negative charge.
The nucleus is the positively charged central mass of an atom.
The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge. The negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus more or less balances out the positive charge.
A neutron has no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.Alternate wording to an inexact question:If you are referring to the nucleus of an atom, there must always be at least one proton. So there has to always be a positive charge. The other component, the neutron, has no charge. The electrons orbiting the nucleus have the negative charge. So if no electrical charge is found in the nucleus, it is not an atom and therefore not a nucleus.
Nucleus, made up of protons and nuetrons. The nucleus. If an atom has positive charge it means one or more electrons has gone missing, leaving a net positive charge due to protons in the nucleus.
neutran
The positive charge of the atomic nucleus is given by the number of protons.
The charge of the atomic nucleus is positive and dependent on the number of protons.
Neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom and have no charge
