Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
How do you figure out an atoms electric charge?
well you take the number of protons and you subract the number of electrons thus giving you the electric charge of an element
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
What are atoms that carry an electric charge?
An atom that does not have a neutral charge is called an ion. It has an unequal number of protons and electrons.
How do particles of in atoms differ in electric charge?
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons possess no charge.
What is proton or atomic number?
A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive electric charge. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. Therefore, if you change the number of protons in an atom, you change the element.
In atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. what is the charge?
There is no charge. The atom is neutral.
Why does helium not have a charge?
all atoms generally do not have charge as the number of protons and number of electrons will be the same.
A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
What is the difference between a proton an an electron?
Protons and Electrons are actually quite different. Protons have a positive electric charge, while electrons have a negative electric charge. Atoms usually have the same number of protons and electrons, which means they balance each other out giving a neutral electric charge. If there are more of either protons or electrons, the atom will have an overall charge. (Negative or Positive). Protons are also located in the nucleus with the neutrons, while electrons are located in the outer shells surrounding the nucleus.
Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
What are electric charge?
the static electric charges refer to the charges which are at rest, in other words stationary positions.
