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 the overall charge of the neutral?
As the tern neutral might imply, the overall charge of a neutral atomis zero.
Explain why an atom of sodium is neutral?
It is neutral because it has 11 positive protons and 11 negative electrons, balancing the overall electrical charge.
What is overall electric charge?
The overall charge for a purchase is the cost including the product, tax, shipping, and any other fees or services.
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.
When a neutral electrical charge comes in contact with another neutral electrical charge what happens?
100 % think it is Nothing
What are the neutral charges?
"Neutral charge" doesn't exist; the meaning of neutral is zero electrical charge.
What do atoms do that alters there overall neutral charge?
Atoms either gain or lose electrons to change their overall neutral charge.
Do neutrons hold a positive charge?
no they are neither, they have a neutral chargeNeutrons carry a neutral electrical charge. Protons have a positive and electrons have a negative electrical charge.
What is a neutrons electric charge?
A neutron does not have an electrical charge. It is electrically neutral, hence its name.
What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
