The inside of the neuron is slightly negative relative to the outside. This difference is referred to as the Resting Membrane Potential.
So in other words negative.

When a neuron's resting potential is occurring the neuron is what charge on the inside?
resting potiental
What is the chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron?
The chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron is a potassium ion. Just inside the cell of a resting neuron, the membrane is negative.
What event follows after the depolarization of a neuron?
A rapid return to the neuron's resting state
A resting neuron is when?
A neuron is at rest when theinside is negatively chraged compared to the outside.
When a neuron is resting the inside of the cell membrane is?
When a neuron is resting then inside of the cell membrane is more negative than outside.
When a neuron's resting potential is occurring the neuron is what charge on the inside?
resting potiental
What is the chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron?
The chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron is a potassium ion. Just inside the cell of a resting neuron, the membrane is negative.
Does a resting neuron have cytoplasm?
Yes. :)
What is an unstimulated neuron?
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.
What event follows after the depolarization of a neuron?
A rapid return to the neuron's resting state
A resting neuron is when?
A neuron is at rest when theinside is negatively chraged compared to the outside.
When a neuron is resting the inside of the cell membrane is?
When a neuron is resting then inside of the cell membrane is more negative than outside.
The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about?
-70mV
Inside of a resting neuron is more?
negtive
What do resting and action potentials depend on?
The resting and action potentials depend on the balance of charges of the area outside the neuron and inside the neuron. A resting potential is when the neuron is more negatively (approximately -70mv) charged than the area outside the neuron. The action potential occurs when sodium ions rush into the neuron, causing the polarity to be reversed. When there is no difference in charge between the area inside the neuron and the area outside the neuron, no action potentials can be started by that neuron.
Which condition is a neuron in when the outside of the neuron has a net positive charge and the inside has a negative charge?
resting potiental
What is the difference in electrical charge across the cell membrane of a resting neuron is called?
This is the definition of "resting potential".
