In every atom are the electrons surrounded by a positively charged nucleus?
Yes - in any atom, you will find protons (+ charge) and neutrons (neutral or 0 charge) in the atom's nucleus. You will find the electrons (- charge) outside the nucleus in the electron cloud.
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
Why do most atoms have the same number of protons and electrons?
So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is the charge of nucleus of every atom?
Positive.
In every atom are the electrons surrounded by a positively charged nucleus?
Yes - in any atom, you will find protons (+ charge) and neutrons (neutral or 0 charge) in the atom's nucleus. You will find the electrons (- charge) outside the nucleus in the electron cloud.
What is the overall charge of the oxygen atom?
The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.
What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?
Every electron has a charge of minus one. If a neutral atom acquires an additional electron, then it also acquires the charge of that electron, and will have a net charge of minus one.
Why the overall charge of the oxygen atom is zero?
The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.
Is an atom a proton?
An atom is composed of protons and electrons which is similar to the atomic number, and neutrons (every other atom except hydrogen-1 isotope).

What is the charge on atom if it gains electrons?
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
