What are particles in an atom called that have no charge?

Particles in an atom with no charge are called neutrons. Neutrons are one of the three subatomic particles found within an atom, along with protons and electrons. They are located in the nucleus of the atom.


What increases on a atom when neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom when its neutral?

When neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom, the number of protons remains the same, so the atomic number stays constant. However, the mass number of the atom increases because neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom without affecting its charge.


Where is most of the mass of an atom contained?

When calculating the mass of an atom, you add the mass of the protons and the neutrons. This is the nucleus of the atom. The electrons are small enough to be ignored except in the most delicate calculations.


What is the mass number of an atom of iodine with 76 nuetrons?

The mass number of an atom is determined by the number of neutrons and protons. Since you already know the number of neutrons, you just need the number of protons, then you can add them together. I happen to know that iodine has 53 protons, so that means that the mass number is 127.It is the protons and neutrons added together so when you add 53 and 74 you get 127! Hope that helped a lot!! :):):):):):):)


Does the nucleus of an atom have protons neutrons electron?

no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.

Neutrons add only to an atom?

Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They contribute to the overall mass of the atom but do not affect its chemical properties. The number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element.


What is the mass of an isotope of this atom that has 2 neutrons?

It is 3 because you have to add the neutrons and the protons.

What two subatomic particles do you add together to get the mass number?

The two subatomic particles you add together to get the mass number of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge, but together they contribute to the mass of an atom.


Do you have to add the protons and electrons in order to find the atomic mass of an atom?

no, you add the protons and neutrons


What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?

If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.


Is one or more neutrons in the nucleus add mass to the atom wrong?

yes it is
