An atom is electrically nuetral if?

It has the same number of protons (+ive charge) as it does electrons (- ive charge). If it does then the charges cancel each other out, making a neutral atom. If there is a charge then this is not an atom this is an ion. Hope this helped.


Total charge of atom what is it?

The structure of an atom shows us that it will have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore when we add together their charges we have a net balance of zero. So the total charge of an atom is 0 or nuetral.


What are the three constituents of an atom and also state the nature of charge on each?

Protons- positive Nuetrons-nuetral electons-negative


What are the three picies to an atom?

The three main particles in an atom are protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negatively charged). Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus at the center of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in shells.


Is oxygen is a positive charge?

No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge


Three basic parts of an atom?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three basic parts of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons carry no charge, and electrons have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus of an atom.


What is the charge of the particle found on the outside of all atoms?

nuetral


Which of the three basic particles in an atom that lacks an electric charge?

neutrons


What is the overall charges of the atom?

It is nuetral due to equal number of protons and electrons


What are the basic building blocks of an atom?

The basic building blocks of an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.


What is the overall charge of a lithium atom that has 4 neutrons 3 electrons and 3 protons?

litium ATOM will be nuetral, a lithimum ION will be 1+


How does an atom keep its charge?

An atom's charge changes when it gains or loses electrons. Atoms naturally tend to lose or gain electrons to level out at eight valence electrons (valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy level), so the only atoms that keep their charge are ions with eight valence electrons or the Noble Gases, atoms on the far right of the periodic table that have eigth valence electrons and a nuetral charge.
