What is an electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined called?
An electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined is called a molecule.
When an atoms electrical charges are balanced the atom is electrically?
When an atom's electrical charges are balanced, the atom is electrically neutral. This means it has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).
How many total electrons are present if the atom is electrically neutral in chlorine?
A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons. You can know this because chlorine's atomic number is 17, which is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and a neutral atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons.
Why are atoms said to be electricly neutral?
Atoms are built form 3 types of particles Electrons (which are electrically negative) Neutrons (which are electrically neutral) Protons (which are electrically positive) Nature likes things to be balanced so when atoms are put together, nature makes sure that the number of Electron the atom has is matched by the number of Protons. This makes all atoms electrically neutral. However, when atoms react with each other chemically, they can share or swap electrons with each other which means that they are no longer electrically neutral (in this state they are called "ions"). Nature therefore requires that the stuff they have made (called a compound) when joining together is, overall electrically neutral and bonds them together so that this is achieved. This is why chemical compounds exist and are stable.
Are humans neutrally charged?
No, humans are not neutrally charged. They are made up of atoms which are electrically neutral, but within the body there are charged particles such as ions which create an overall slight negative charge.
What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Which atom is electrically neutral?
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
What kind of atoms has the same number of protons as electrons?
Only electrically neutral atoms.
What is an electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined called?
An electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined is called a molecule.
What is the atoms electrical charge?
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Why atom are electrically neutral?
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of positively charged protons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons surrounding the nucleus. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
An electrically neutral is what?
an electrically neutral atom is just an atom. Atoms with more or fewer electrons (negatively charged) compared with their protons (which determines the element) are considered ions.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have?
the protons and electrons balance each other out
What is an electrically neutral unit composed of two or more atoms?
Such unit is molecule.
Are most atoms neutral?
The atomic nucleus is not neutral, it is positively charged (the exact charge depends upon the element in question; the hydrogen nucleus is +1, the helium nucleus is +2, etc). The atom as a whole is electrically neutral, unless it becomes ionized.
What are an electrically neutral group of atoms joined together by covelent bonds are called?
molecules
What kind of an atom has the same number of protons as electrons?
Only electrically neutral atoms.
