In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.
The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.
In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

∙ 11y agoAn atom consist of three different particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The protons and neutrons make up the nucleus. The electrons orbit around the nucleus. Therefore the negative charges are found orbiting around the nucleus of the atom.

Charge of an atom?
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
What do you call an atom with a charge?
If it has a positive charge it is a Cation. If it has a negative charge it is an Anion.
What is it called when atom has a positive or negative charge?
Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
What subatomic particle has an electric charge?
electron-negative, proton-positive, neutron-neutral
What are the charges on the particles in an atom?
A proton has a positive charge and an electron has a negative charge.
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
What parts of the atom have a positive charge?
Parts of an atom: - protons - located in the nucleus - have a positive charge - neutrons - located in the nucleus - have a neutral or no charge - electrons - are in orbit around the nucleus - have a negative charge
What is an atom with a positive charge or negative charge called?
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is the atom which has positive and negative charge?
Positive charge: cationNegative charge: anion
Does an entire atom has a positive or negative charge?
Positive
What part of an atom has a negative charge and what was a positive charge?
electrons = negative charge protons = positive charge neutrons = neutral charge
When an atom is negative or positive?
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
Does the electon of a atom have a positive charge?
no. electrons have negative charge. protons have positive charge
Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an atom?
nucleus has a positive charge. net charge of an atom (not an ion!) is 0.
Where is the total positive charge of an atom located and in what form?
The positive charge of an atom is located in the nucleusin the form of protons.
What is an atom that has a positive or negative charge?
An Ion.
