Beacause atoms contain 3 types of sub atomic particle- protons,neutrons and electrons.
The protons and neutrons are in the neuclius and the electrons are around the outside.
The protons are positivly charged. The neutrons neutral and the electrons negativly charged.
So, the protons and electrons charges cacell each other out. So the atom has no charge overall.

What is charge of an atom?
Normally, atoms do not have a charge, but if they are ionic, they have either a positive or negative charge, normally with the addition or loss of electrons.
How many atoms make up the oxalate ion and what is it's charge?
the atoms make up carbonate ion and its charge its 4+.
Does an atom have charge?
No, atoms are neutral
What is the charge of a oxygen?
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
Does an atoms nucleus have a positive or negative charge?
it cant have any charge at all. atoms have an equal amount of protons and neutron therefore the give off no charge. if they did give off a charge they would no longer be atoms they would be ions
What is charge of an atom?
Normally, atoms do not have a charge, but if they are ionic, they have either a positive or negative charge, normally with the addition or loss of electrons.
How atoms give rise to magnetic properties in certain material?
Magnetic fields are cause by the movement of charge , normally electrons each atoms has a magnetic moment
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
Why are atoms said to be electrical neutral?
because it normally does not have a electric charge If an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral.
What do you mean by charged and uncharged body?
Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge. A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
How do atoms unite with other atoms?
Atoms with the same charge are pushed away from each other. Atoms with different charge attract (unite)
How are molecules different from atoms?
Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.
How could some atoms have a charge?
when u run and get a lot of energy, your atoms have a charge.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
What atoms have no overall charge?
Atoms, by definition, have no charge. If they had charges, they would be called ions.
