What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
An atom or other object that has no overall electrical charge is said to be what?
neutral
What is over all charge on a chlorine atom?
The chlorine atom is neutral.
What is an atoms overall electrical charge?
Neutral. An atom has as many negative electrons in its shells as there are positive protons in its nucleus. Thus overall the positive and negative charges are balanced out. Should an atom gain or lose an electron it will then become an 'Ion' which will have an overall negative or positive (respectively) charge.
Why do atoms usually have no overall charge?
The protons in an atom have a positive charge and the electrons in an atom have a negative charge and these balance each other. Neutrons have no charge so they do not factor into it. It would be like adding positive 4(Protons) and negative 4(Electrons). -4+4=0 The zero represents your "no overall charge".
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
How do you find the overall of an atom?
(Atomic number) - (Number of electrons present) = (overall electrical charge of atom)
An atom or other object that has no overall electrical charge is said to be what?
neutral
What would be the electrical charge of a sodium atom that lost an electron?
if a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from a sodium atom it would become positively charged APEX
What is over all charge on a chlorine atom?
The chlorine atom is neutral.

Should an atom gain or lose an electron it will then become an 'Ion' which will have an overall negative or positive (respectively) charge.
Does an atom have electirc charge?
An atom does not have an overall electrical charge, because the positive charges in the nucleus are balanced by the negative charges in the electron cloud around the nucleus. When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is called an "ion".
What is aluminum overall charge of an atom?
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
Does an atom have an electric charge?
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
What charge is chlorine?
The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
Why do atoms usually have no overall charge?

What is the overall charge of helium atom?
The overall charge on He is 0. It is a noble element.
