If an atom has 12 protons 13 neutrons and 12 electrons what is the charge of the atom?

It has no charge because the protons (positive) and the electrons (negative) number the same. The charges cancel out, which means it's a neutral atom.

∙ 16y agoYou have a problem ... the number of protons and electron is always equal !
Never the less, the atomic number would be 12
and the atomic weight would be 24
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAdd the nucleons together to get the mass number: 12 + 12 = 24. Disregard the electrons as they are relatively insignificant in terms of mass.

What is a partical in an atom with no charge?
Atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. And neutrons have no charge at all.
What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.
The negative part of the atom?
The electrons. Protons are the positives and the neutrons are nothing. _______________________________________________________ The electrons carry negative charge. The protons carry positive charge. Neutrons have no charge.
Are protons and electrons grouped together in an atom?
NO, protons and neutrons are in the centre of an atom and the electrons are spinning round on the outside of an atom. protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, this why they cannot be together. However, neutrons have no charge, that is why they are combined with the protons.
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
Does an atom have a charge if the neutrons equals the protons?
It depends on the amount of electrons in the outer shells. The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom as they are already neutron. There is only a charge if there is a difference in protons and electrons, not protons and neutrons.
What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
Why neutrons are present in an atom?
Protons have a positive charge, Electrons have a negative charge, and Neutrons have a neutral charge. Neutrons help to ground the charges of protons and electrons.
What is a partical in an atom with no charge?
Atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. And neutrons have no charge at all.
What are the subatomic particles in the nucleus?
In the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge. Neutrons have a neutral charge. outside the nucleus of the atom, it is surrounded by electrons. Electrons are negatively charged.
What is an atom a particle of?
An atom is made up of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, Neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge. :-)
Negatively charged particles in an atom?
An atom contains neutrons, protons and electrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge (no charge), protons have a positive (+) charge and electrons have a negative (-) charge. Hope this Helps!
Which of the has an electric charge?
(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
What part of the atom carries a positive charge?
Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.
What does protons electrons neutrons mean?
Electrons, protons, and neutrons are different parts of an atom. The proton is positive and the electron is negative while the neutron is of both equally. Depending on the number of each is in an atom, is the type of atom you have.
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
The negative part of the atom?
The electrons. Protons are the positives and the neutrons are nothing. _______________________________________________________ The electrons carry negative charge. The protons carry positive charge. Neutrons have no charge.
