Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.

Do Atoms remain neutral in ionic or covalent bond?

In ionic bonds, atoms lose or gain electrons to become charged ions, so they are not neutral. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to achieve stability, maintaining their neutrality.

In a ionic compound atoms remain neutral true or false?

True. In ionic compounds, atoms transfer electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), but the total charge of the compound remains neutral.


Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?

Does a gas remain ionized forever?

No, a gas does not remain ionized forever. The ions in a gas can recombine with electrons to form neutral atoms or molecules. The time it takes for a gas to recombine depends on the specific conditions such as temperature and pressure.


How are ions different from Atom?

Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.


In an ionic compound atoms remain neutral?

NaCl, table salt is neutral as an compound though it is made of.the cation,Na +and the anion,Cl -But put NaCl in solution and....Na +andCl -are now disassociated and charged ions and anything but neutral.So, in solution charged atoms, usually ( some ionic compounds are not that soluble ) and as a crystal structure, table salt, neutral.
