no. the atoms stay together. ions may separate in solution (e.g. NaCl seperates into Na and Cl each carrying their charges)
If you are referring to an acidic solution, then the answer is still no. The hydrogen ion in an acid does not just break off and float around as a lone proton. It bonds to a lone pair of electrons on a water molecule, forming a hydronium ion (H3O+).

What are positive and negative charge?
Positive charges are in protons and negative charges are in electrons. Neutron have neutral charges. In an atom the nucleus has protons and neutrons in it with a positive charge overall. Around the nucleus are electrons in orbitals, probable electron locations, they have a negative charge so the overall charge of an atom is neutral because the number of electrons and the number of protons are equal which is also the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons in an atom subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. These values can be found on the periodic table of elements.
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
Which 2 subatomic particles have opposite charges?
The three common subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are found inside the nucleus and have a positive charge. Electrons are found outside of the nucleus and have a negative charge.
Why are atom said to be neutral?
The atom has the same number of electrons as protons. An electron is negatively charged, where a proton is positively charged. For example, in a Hydrogen atom, it has 1 proton and 1 electron, the proton and electron cancel out (+1 + -1 = 0) making the atom neutral.
Why does an atom have no electrical charge?
Atoms have equal number of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles and some particles having no charge. Since numbers of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles are equal the NET charge as whole is zero.
Where is the positive ad negative charge located in an atom?
In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).
What are their charges for protons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge and are in the center of the atom with the neutrons forming the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge and are in the center of the atom with the protons. Electrons have a negative charge and are orbiting around the protons and neutrons
Why is an object electrically neutral?
Something is neutral when there are just as many positive charges as negative charges. A normal atom has just as many positive protons in its nucleus as it has negative electrons orbiting around its nucleus.
How do electrons get energy to resolve continuously around the nucleus?
From the positive and negative charges of the protons and neutrons in an atom, or in other words 'magic'!
What holds the electrons around the nucleas?
protons hold electrons around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge, so since opposite charges attract each other, electrons and protons hold each other in place.
Why protons are not considered a source of moving charges for current flow?
Protons don't usually move around (except as ions, or parts of ions, in a solution). Electrons move around much more easily, because of their much lower mass.
What are positive and negative charge?
Positive charges are in protons and negative charges are in electrons. Neutron have neutral charges. In an atom the nucleus has protons and neutrons in it with a positive charge overall. Around the nucleus are electrons in orbitals, probable electron locations, they have a negative charge so the overall charge of an atom is neutral because the number of electrons and the number of protons are equal which is also the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons in an atom subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. These values can be found on the periodic table of elements.

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
How does neutral charges interact with both positive and negative charges?
Neutral is not a charge. It's the absence of any charge, and it doesn't interact with charges of either polarity. What actually reacts is the electrons (negatively charged particles. Protons are the positively charged particles and Neutrons are the "Neutral" or uncharged particles. According to Quantum Theory Mechanics the Negative particles (Electrons) orbit around the center (which consists the positive charged Protons and the uncharged Neutrons), of atoms. The mass of the atom consists almost completely of neutrons and protons, as the Electrons have insignificant mass.
How do electric charges relate to parts of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons. Neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge so the nucleus is positively charged. Around the nucleus there are orbiting electrons which are negatively charged. The positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge of the atom neutral
Why do atoms have no electric charge even though most of the particles inside the atoms have charges?
Because the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus is exactly canceled by the negative charge of the electrons in the orbitals around it.
Which 2 subatomic particles have opposite charges?
The three common subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are found inside the nucleus and have a positive charge. Electrons are found outside of the nucleus and have a negative charge.
