When a neuron is polarized, usually by the influx of chloride ions into the neuron, it is incapable of creating an action potential (incapable of firing). Only when the neuron returns to a resting potential, via pumping ions back across the membrane, can it be depolarized (sodium ion influx) to generate an action potential.

What is inside a polarized neuron?
There is electrical potential difference between out side of the cell and inside of the cell, in case of the polarized neuron. This electrical difference is lost in case of depolarization. That is what can be said roughly.
A polarized neuron has fewer positive ions inside in comparison to the outside of the neuron?
True
A charge difference between the interior of the neuron axon and the exterior exists when the neuron is?
polarized
When a neuron is in a resting state the majority of the particles in the fluid surrounding the neuron are?
polarized
What happens when a neuron becomes excitable?
A neuron which is excitable is in its RESTING STATE, which means that it is POLARIZED, and thus able to be stimulated into an action potential.
State of an unstimulated neuron's membrane?
Polarized

What is a polarized neuron?
A neuron that is polarized is also at rest potential. At this stage it is not conducting an impulse and has sodium ions on the outside and potassium ions on the inside.

When a neuron is in a resting state the majority of the particles in the fluid surrounding the neuron are?

What is an unstimulated neuron called?
a polarized neuron (at least I think that's the technically correct term)
What happens when a neuron becomes excitable?
A neuron which is excitable is in its RESTING STATE, which means that it is POLARIZED, and thus able to be stimulated into an action potential.
When a neuron is at rest the ions inside are mostly?
polarized
What is the Electrical condition of a plasma membrane of a resting neuron?
Polarized
What are the three main states of a neuron?
polarized, depolarized, repolarized
A charge difference between the interior of the neuron axon and the exterior exist when the neurons is?
polarized
