What is the property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons?
That gives you the net charge of the atom. If there is the same amount of protons and electrons, the net charge is zero, and the atom is said to be neutral.
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.
How many protons does an atom of Carbon have if it has a plus 2 charge and a mass of 15?
6 Charge and mass do not change this answer.
What atom has 6 protons?
On the periodic table, that would be considered as "Carbon". Just look at the atomic number at the top of the names on the periodic table, and that would give the numbers of protons in the atom.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon 12?
Because it is carbon, it automatically has 6 protons (remembering that it is the number of protons that becomes the basis for naming atoms). However, it's a little unclear based on the question as to what the number of electrons is in the system since no charge is given (remember: Charge No. = No. of protons - No. of Electrons). Assume a neutral atom, however, and you would have 6 electrons.
What charge are protons neutrons and electrons if they are part of carbon?
Protons are always postive, neutrons are always neutral and electrons are always negative. Carbon has no charge because it has as many protons as it has electrons.
How many protons does an atom of carbon have?
An Carbon Atom has an total of 6 protons.
Why doesn't a methane molecule have a charge?
In methane, the combined protons from the carbon and hydrogen, are equal in number to the combined amount of electrons. This gives a total net charge of 0, it is neutral.

How in law of conservation of charge the total charge on an isolated system remains constant and give with an example?
According to the law of conservation of charge, the total charge in an isolated system remains constant. A simple example: when a magnesium atom loses two electrons to an oxygen atom the ions have charges of 2+ and 2- respectively. The total charge is zero before and after ionization.
What is its total charge of 17 protons and 10 electrons?
The total charge would be +17 + (-10) = +7.
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.
How many protons does an atom of Carbon have if it has a plus 2 charge and a mass of 15?
6 Charge and mass do not change this answer.
How do you determine how many electrons are in an element?
Number of Protons=Atomic Number. In a neutral atom (any atom listed in the periodic table), the number of protons equals the number of electrons. This is because a proton has a +1 charge and an electron has a -1 charge. Example: Carbon has an atomic number of 6. A neutral carbon atom therefore has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Unrelated, but sort of more relevant, carbon has four valence electrons. If the carbon was written like so: C+, then the carbon would have a positive 1 charge and would have one less electron than the neutral carbon. The number of protons would remain the same at 6, but the total number of electrons would be 5.
What is the charge of the atom in the nucleus?
The charge of an atom's nucleus is equal to the number of protons in that atom. (Always positive)The nucleus only contains protons and neutrons. The protons each have a positive charge of one. The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to charge.Example: Hydrogen has one proton so the nucleus has a charge of +1, where carbon has 12 protons so the nuclear charge is +12.
What atom has 6 protons?
On the periodic table, that would be considered as "Carbon". Just look at the atomic number at the top of the names on the periodic table, and that would give the numbers of protons in the atom.
Why is the nucleus's charge positive?
because the nucleus consists of protons and neurons- protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge, therefore in total it is positive. however the nucleus is surronded by electrons which have a negative charge... the same number of protons and electrons cancel eachothers charge but the nucleus has a positive charge because it only has protons, no elecrons
