What is the name of the particle found in an atom that carries a negative electrical charge?
An electron
The net electrical charge of an atom is zero because it contains?
an equal number of protons and electrons, which are positively and negatively charged respectively. The positive charge of the protons cancels out the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
What is the name for a nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton but with no electrical charge?
The nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton but no electrical charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons and contribute to the atomic mass of the atom.
What is a neutrons electric charge?
A neutron does not have an electrical charge. It is electrically neutral, hence its name.
What is the name given to the electrical charge on an ion?
The name given to the electrical charge on an ion is a oxidation number. The charge of the ion typically formed by strontium is 2 plus.
What is the unit of electrical charge?
The unit of electrical charge is the coulomb, a special name given to an ampere second.
What is the name for an atom with a positive charge?
Proton
What is the name of the part of the atom that has a negative charge?
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
What is the name for the subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge?
The subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge.
What does 'neutron' mean?
A neutron is a part of the atom that has a Neutral charge so to say. The atom is composed of an electron, proton, and neutron. Electrons have the negative charge, Protons have a positive, and neutron has no charge. Remember it as in "Neutron is neutral" or "neutron is no". A free neutron (outside of an atom that is) has a half-life of less than 15 minutes.
What is the name of an atom that has a postive or negative charge?
An ion.
What is the name for the subatomic particle atom that has no charge?
Neutron
