By definition, atoms have no overall electrical charge. That means that there must be a balance between the positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons. Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. In our example, an atom of krypton must contain 36 electrons since it contains 36 protons.
Total charge means the ability about matter charge.
Zero, of course !
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
neutral
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
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.
Francium has 87 electrons but the atom is neutral.
It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion
neutral
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
No. Neutrons have no charge. They are neutral ... the main reason they're called NEUtrons.The total charge on an atom is not affected by the number of neutrons in its nucleus.
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
Neutral atoms do, but ions (atoms with charges) by definition do not.
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
An atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons will be neutral and have no charge.
