Yes. It has both.
The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.
An anion; the positive ion is known as a cation.
a water molecule is polar because their is an uneven distributive of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. the negative pole is near the oxygen atom and the positive pole is between the hydrogen atoms.
True. The atoms have a proton which has a positive charge and there are same number of electrons with a negative charge. Those two charges cancel each other out and the charge becomes zero. The neutrons do not have any charge.
Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.
Water molecules are polar due to the unequal distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen atoms, creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
yes
negative,positive,none
Normally atoms are neutral.
Atoms do not have positive and negative ends.Molecules, which are made up of several atoms, can be positive at one end and negative at the other; these are called "polar" molecules. The most common polar molecule is water, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H2O.
Loss or gain of electrons.
Yes, if they are ions
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Positive ions
