No, this is because an Ion is only present when there is a loss or gain of electrons, meaning that it's only present from it being positive or negative, therefore it cannot have a neutral charge.

An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
Is oxygen a negative charge?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
How do ions form electrically neutral compounds-?
When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
What is the charge on the Sc ions in Sc2O3?
The charge on the Sc ions in Sc2O3 is 3+. This can be determined by recognizing that oxide ions always have a charge of 2-, and there are three of them, so the total oxide charge is 6-. There are two scandium ions, and since the compound must be neutral, the total charge on the two scandium ions has to be 6+, so the charge on each scandium ion is 3+.
Is it true that in ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion . a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges?
No, it is not true that a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges. You can have, for example, a compound that consists of twice as many positive ions as negative ions, but the positive ions have only half the charge; +1 ions bonded to -2 ions. There are many different possible ratios with which different elements or radicals combine. As long as the total amount of charge adds up to zero, you still have a neutral ionic compound.
When ions with a positive charge bond with ions with a negative charge the resulting charge is?
This compound is of course neutral.
How are atoms that are neutral in charge?
Atoms that are neutral in charge have the same quantity of protons and electrons. Negative ions have extra electrons, and positive ions are missing electrons.
Are atoms neutral and don't have a charge?
A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.
What is the charge of americium?
The atom of americium is neutral; only ions have an electrical charge.
What is the algebraic sum of the ions charge?
This sum is zero, neutral.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is .?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is.?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
What is the charge to polonium?
The standard atom is neutral; the ions are Po2+ and Po4+.
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
What is the name of an ion that has a neutral charge?
by definition, ions are charged atoms. so a neutral ion doesn't exist
