What is the overall charge of the atom since the atom contains positive charges and negative charges. how is that possible?

An atom is always neutral of charge, meaning ZERO. This is possible because of the equal numbers of (positive) protons and (negative) electrons, each plus charge is compensated by one (equally negative) minus charge.

What kind of charged particles does an atom contain?
The nucleus of an atom contains the neutral neutrons and the positive protons. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
What electric charge can either be positive or negative?
Positive charge is one of the two possible electrical charges, the other is ..........? the NEGATIVE charge.
What are the only possible charges of ions?
, no fractions, positive, negative integers, and zero
Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
When there is full of negative charges in a jar are there going to be negative charges?
No there are not going to be negative charges there are going to be positive charges!!!!
What contains electrical charges in atom?

What objects have an electric charge?
Every object contains charge but it s usually hidden in daily life because object contains equal number of positive and negative charges. However, imbalance in any of the charges(positive or negative) in objects is responsible for their interaction with other charged objects.
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
Are nonmetals positive or negative?
Nonmetals have negative charges.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
