What else can I help you with?
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.
Why don't atoms have electric charge?
The charge of an atom depends on the number of protons as compared with the number of electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1 ECU (electron charge unit), and each proton has a charge of +1 ECU. An Ion is an atom that has a net electric charge that is not 0, because of the introduction or removal of 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.
When atoms are at rest what do they have an equal number of?
protons and electrons protons and electrons
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
In atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. what is the charge?
There is no charge. The atom is neutral.
What all neutral atoms lack?
Neutral atoms lack a net charge, meaning they have an equal number of protons and electrons. This balanced charge prevents them from being attracted or repelled by external electric fields.
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.
