All atoms of any element are electrically neutral as they will have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons in order to maintain electrical neutrality.

∙ 14y agoAn Atom that has neither a positive nor a negative charge is neutral. That atom is said to have a neutral charge.
The answer is
A. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.
With two protons and two electrons, the atom then is neither postively nor negatively charged.

∙ 11y agoThe number of protons each with a charge of +1 is the same as the number of electrons each with a charge of -1, the net charge is zero.
This is often termed the neutral atom to distinguish it from ionised atoms which have a net charge e.g. K+ and Cl- due to the loss or gain of electrons.

Is the net charge of an atom always zero?
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
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.
How does zero net force affect an objects state of motion?
If there is zero net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. (It's velocity will not change.)
How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?
Zero net force has no effect on an object's motion whatsoever.
How does Newtons first law relate to the equilibrium rule?
If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).

What net charge does a sodium atom have?
A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.
What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
If the number of protons equals the number of electrons the overall charge of the atom is?
zero .. such an atom is neutral. No net charge
Is the net force acting on a body is zero will the velocity be zero?
No, The velocity CHANGE will be zero
What combination is a neutral atom that has zero net charge?
Simple, it is a neutral atom, having an equal number of protons and electrons.
What is the property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons?
That gives you the net charge of the atom. If there is the same amount of protons and electrons, the net charge is zero, and the atom is said to be neutral.
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.
What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
How does zero net force affect an objects state of motion?
If there is zero net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. (It's velocity will not change.)
If the net force on an object is zero will the objects motion change?
No.
The net electrical charge of an atom is zero because it contains?
Equal no. of +ive protons and -ive electrons .
