Neutron. It is electrically neutral, and coincidentally about as massive as a proton plus an electron.

What atom more positive?
An atom is neutral; the cation is positive.
Why is a neutral sodium atom more stable than a positive sodium atom?
its not
How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
Why is the radius of anion more than the corresponding atom?
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
What is the definition of positively charged ion?
If an atom gives one or more electrons as a result positive ion is formed. The reason is that an electron is negatively charged and normally an atom is neutral. if it gives electrons then positive ion is formed which is more likely to take electron to become neutral.
Which atom would be more reactive a neutral F atom or an F- ion?
F
What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
When an atom loses its electrons what does it become?
If an atom loses an electron (electrons are negative), the atom becomes 'less negative' which means 'more positive'. Atoms are normally neutral (no charge), so losing one electron gives it a positive charge. When an atom has a charge it is called an ION. So the atom becomes a Positively Charged Ion.
Is an ion a neutral atom?
No, it's the opposite. An ion is a charged atom, that is an atom with more ("anions" - charged negatively) or less ("cations" - charged positively) electrons, in comparision with the fundamental (neutral) state.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

Where is almost all of the mass in an atom is located?
Approximately all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. The electrons contribute almost zero.No atom has more than 100 electrons, but eachproton or neutron in the nucleushas the mass of more than 1,800 electrons.
What is the mass and volume of the nucleus?
If you mean the nucleus of an atom, different atom have different masses - an uranium atom has more than 200 times the mass of a hydrogen-1 atom (and most of that mass is in the nucleus).
