What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
What is the overall charge of helium atom?
The overall charge on He is 0. It is a noble element.
What is the overall charge on any atom?
An atom is neutral, and therefore has an overall charge of zero. If an atom either loses or gains electrons through a chemical reaction, or loses protons through radioactive decay, so that it then has an overall charge, it is no longer considered to be an atom but is classified as an ion.
Why do atoms usually have no overall charge?
The protons in an atom have a positive charge and the electrons in an atom have a negative charge and these balance each other. Neutrons have no charge so they do not factor into it. It would be like adding positive 4(Protons) and negative 4(Electrons). -4+4=0 The zero represents your "no overall charge".
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
What is aluminum overall charge of an atom?
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
What is the overall charge of helium atom?
The overall charge on He is 0. It is a noble element.
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
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 is an atom that has no overall charge is?
A: Neutron
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.

The overall charge of the oxygen atom is?
Zero
How do you find the overall of an atom?
(Atomic number) - (Number of electrons present) = (overall electrical charge of atom)
Explain why an atom of sodium is neutral?
It is neutral because it has 11 positive protons and 11 negative electrons, balancing the overall electrical charge.
Why do atoms usually have no overall charge?
The protons in an atom have a positive charge and the electrons in an atom have a negative charge and these balance each other. Neutrons have no charge so they do not factor into it. It would be like adding positive 4(Protons) and negative 4(Electrons). -4+4=0 The zero represents your "no overall charge".
The overall charge of an atom is equal to the total charges of the?
The overall charge is the amount of protons minus the number of electrons.
