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.
The overall charge of an oxygen atom is 0, as it has 8 protons (positively charged) and 8 electrons (negatively charged), making it electrically neutral.
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.
The overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms would be -2. This is because carbon has an oxidation state of +4 and each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, resulting in a total charge of -2 for the entire molecule.
All atoms have the same overall charge with the exception of ionization (electrons are lost or gained). since there are the same amount of protons and electrons in an atom, the negative and positive cancel each other out.
No.. The overall charge of an atom is neutron because it's balanced :)
The charge on the plutonium atom in Pu2O5 is +6. This is because each oxygen atom in Pu2O5 has a charge of -2, and the overall compound is neutral, so the charge on the plutonium atom must be +6 in order to balance out the -4 charge from the two oxygen atoms.
The charge for SiO2 is neutral overall. Silicon typically has a charge of +4, and oxygen has a charge of -2, so in SiO2, there is one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms, resulting in a neutral compound.
The oxygen atom is neutral.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
The formal charge of nitrite (NO2-) is -1. Each oxygen atom carries a formal charge of -1, while the nitrogen atom carries a formal charge of +1, leading to an overall charge of -1 for the nitrite ion.
The overall charge on He is 0. It is a noble element.
The overall charge of an aluminum atom is neutral, as it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). A neutral atom of aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons.
