What is the part of the atom that carries no electric charge?
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
What charge does the complete atom have?
"Complete atom" sounds like a neutral atom - same number of protons and electrons. If you add or remove some electrons, you will have a non-zero electric charge.
What is it called when a atom that has gained or lost and electron and now has a net electric charge?
When atoms (elements) gain or loose electrons, they become Ions. If an atom looses electrons it becomes +1 charge, whereas if an atom gains electrons it becomes -1 charge.
What is the electric charge of the nucleus of every atom?
neutral
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
Strontium atom differs from a Strontium ion in that the atom has a greater?
Charge
What term is defined as a atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
What term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
What is an atom with an electric charge?
An ion
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What part of the atom that carries no electric charge?
An atom that is not an ion has no electric charge. If it is particles that make up the atom you speak of, the nucleus houses the neutron; an elementary particle with zero charge.
What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
What is the part of the of atom carries no electric charge?
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
What is an atom or molecule with electric charge?
In chemistry, particles with an overall electric charge are called ions.
