Depends: More electrons than protons - negative. More protons than electrons - positive. Equal number of electrons and protons - neutral (no charge).
Gaining or losing an electron is called an isotope
An atom, with an equal number of protons and electrons, has no charge. The positive charge on the protons is equal to the negative from the electrons, so they neutralize each other.
However, it is quite possible to add and subtract electrons from an atom, turning it into an anion/cation with some level of net negative or positive electrical charge.
An atom has a positive electrical charge which consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. The nucleus attracts the electrons which swirl around it forming an atom. Atoms depend on others to join or won't survive except molecules can.
answ2. An atom normally has an equal number of protons and electrons, and will generally have some neutrons as well.
The neutrons and protons form the nucleus. The electrons form a 'cloud' round the nucleus.
If the number of electrons and protons is unbalanced, then you have a charged atom - it is ionized. It will no longer react chemically as it did, for the chemical nature of an atom is determined by the number of electrons.
Atoms are normally electrically neutral - they have no charge.
First answer is NONsense:
Atoms have a negative charge therefore they are super easy to work with and make great use when i practise my experiments in my room at home in my spare time:) its so fun.. you should give it a go
Corrected: All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions with respectively positive (on loosing) or negative charge (on gaining electrons, as oxygen tends to do).
they can be both positive and negative charge, it all depends on what atoms, i am not sure but i think if they are in the 1st period
+1 charge(1+)
2nd period 2+
3rd 3+
4th 4+
5th 3-
6th 2-
7th 1-
An electric charge. More precisely, a negative electric charge.
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
it has the charges of them biting the nucluer system
negative
Scientists inferred that nuetral atoms contained postitive charges, because electrons contained negative charges.
Atoms, by definition, have no charge. If they had charges, they would be called ions.
Electrostatic forces hold atoms together in an ionic compound.Ions are strongly bonded together using electrostatic attraction.Ionic bonds hold atoms together between their positive and negative ions through electrostatic attraction.
The H atoms with partial + charges attract O atoms with partial - charges on other water molecules.
He knew there were electrons which have negative charges, but the overall charge of the atom was zero. There had to be positive atoms for this to be true, because negative and positive charges cancel each other out in order for the overall charge to be zero.
An ionic bond.
i need the same answer!
Covalent bonds hold all these atoms together with the central atoms here the two phosphorous atoms.
Covalent bonds, in which atoms share valence electrons, and ionic bonds, in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another, are the types of bonds that hold atoms together.
Cations, positively charged atoms e.g. Na+. The positive charges are the protons min the nucleus and the negative charges are electrons.
covalent bond
There are two types of charges: positive charges and negative charges. Positive charges are immobile, and are found inside the nuclei of atoms as Protons. Negative charges can be mobile, and have the source of electrons. These orbit the nuclei of atoms, and can be stripped from the atoms to be used as mobile charged through conductors, such as electricity moving through wires.
Charges are changed by the movement of electrons to or from an atom.
The three types of chemical bonds that hold the atoms within a compound together are Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, and Polar covalent bonds.
Normally atoms are neutral.
Scientists inferred that nuetral atoms contained postitive charges, because electrons contained negative charges.
