To find the charge to mass ratio (specific charge) of an atom, you have to find both the charge of the nucleus and the mass of the nucleus
charge of nucleus = proton number x charge of 1 proton (1.6x10^-19)
mass of nucleus = nucleon number x mass of 1 proton (1.67x10^-27)
the you have to divide the charge of the nucleus by he mass of nucleus e.g Q/M
the answer should be in C/kg or Ckg^-1

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+.
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.
What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
An unbonded atom has a neutral charge, meaning it has an equal number of protons and electrons. The positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in a net charge of zero.
When does an atom have a net charge?
never
When a neutral atom captures a free electron what is the net charge on the atom?
The charge of an atom who captured a single elektron is - or -1
What is the property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons?
The property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons is the net charge of the atom. If the total charge of protons equals the total charge of electrons, the atom is neutral. If there is a difference between the two, the atom becomes either positively or negatively charged.
How do you find the net electrical charge of the uranium atom?
The uranium atom is electric neutral; uranium cations exist from 2+ to 6+.
How is the net charge of an atom produced?
Atoms are neutral in charge
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
Is an atom with the same number of electrons and protons the electrical charge is?
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
Is an ion an atom that has a net charge?
Yes, an ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. This charge is due to the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons in the atom.
Which particles determine the net charge of an atom or ion and how do you calculate that charge?
The net charge of an atom or ion is determined by the balance of protons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge, contribute to the overall charge of the atom. To calculate the net charge, subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons: ( \text{Net Charge} = \text{Protons} - \text{Electrons} ). If an atom has more protons than electrons, it is positively charged (cation), while more electrons than protons result in a negative charge (anion).
