A neutral atom, in order to be neutral, has the same number of protons and electrons. If the atom gains or loses an electron, or more than one, it will become electrically charged.

What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
How can you tell if an atom is electrically charged?
atoms r electrically charged cuz it has same no of positive charges ands negative charges. so atom is electrically nuetral.
What bond is made of electrically charged atoms?
Ionic bond
Do atoms have electricity in them?
Yes, all atoms are made up of electrically charged particles.
Are atoms are composed of?
atoms are made up of positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons and electrically neutral neutrons
What is the atoms electrical charge?
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Is the nuclei of atoms electrically positive?
The nucleus of an atom is positively charged.
Why does a wire that carries an electric current not become electrically charged?
To become electrically charged, a conductor must either have an excess of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged). For every free electron moving around in a current-carrying conductor, there is a corresponding proton within the fixed atoms, so the conductor is neither negatively- nor positively-charged, but neutral.
What is the process called that changes a neutral atom into an electrically charged atom?
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
Atom group of atoms that has become electrically charge?
Atoms become electrically charge when they reacting to one another. The two groups of charged atoms are cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged), and all together these types of atoms are called ions. The ability to become electrically charge depends on their electronegativity values and ionization energies. Electronegativity refers to an atom's "pull" on electrons, meaning that the more electronegative an atom is the harder it will "pull" on electrons from other atoms. The more electronegative atoms (typically the anions) reside on the far right side of the periodic table. Ionization energy refers to the energy needed to pluck an electron from an atom. Atoms with the lower energy typically have lower electronegativity values, making them cations (which are to the left of the periodic table).
Which state does matter take when it is heated to very high temperatures and the atoms become electrically charged?
this is for every on on A plus the answer is plasma :) this was Ben McClanahan HHA
