The atom's nucleus is positively charged, with the number of positive charges being equal to the atom's atomic number.The nucleus contains positive protons and neutral neutrons making it positive.There are no negatives because electrons are not in the nucleus, but around the nucleus.

∙ 9y agoThe atom has three types of particles. First is proton that carries a positive electrical charge. Second is electron that carries a negative electrical charge. Last are neurons that carry no electrical charge. The number of each determines the atomâ??s net charge.

∙ 11y agoEvery nucleus is charged positive. This is because all of the atom's protons, each of which carries exactly one positive charge, are located in the nucleus, while all of the atom's electrons, each of which carries exactly one negative charge, are located outside the nucleus. The neutrons, which are electrically neutral, are in the nucleus.

Why don't atoms carry net charge?
The total positive charge of the nucleus is cancelled by the negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus. Hence atoms are electrically neutral
What bears a positive electrical charge while what has no electrical charge?
The proton is the particle that has a positive charge. The neutron is the particle that has a neutral charge. both of these reside in the nucleus of an atom.
What has no charge but add mass to the atoms?
Neutrons and they are found inside the nucleus.
Does an atoms nucleus have a positive or negative charge?
it cant have any charge at all. atoms have an equal amount of protons and neutron therefore the give off no charge. if they did give off a charge they would no longer be atoms they would be ions
What has a negative charge and is inside the nucleus of an atom?
Nothing. The only part of an atom with negative charge are the electrons.
Does a nucleus have an electrical charge?
Yes; electrons have a negative electrical charge.
What is the charge of the nucleus of atoms?
Because protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, the atomic nucleus has a positive charge.
What does a number of protons for an element mean?
The atomic number number of an element, and the magnitude of the positive electrical charge on a nucleus of the atoms of the element.
What does he nature of atomic structure have to do with electrical charge?
Quite a lot. Atoms consist of charged particles; electrons stay with the nucleus due to these electrical charges. Also, the outer electrons in an atom interact with neighboring atoms.
What in the nucleus of an adom has no electrical charge?
neutrons!
What is the particle in the nucleus of the atom with no electrical charge?
Neuton does not have any charge
What electrical charge is always on the nucleus of an atom?
Positive. Negative electrons are not on the nucleus.
What has an electric charge?
An electrical charge occurs when the number of protons in a nucleus differs from the number of electrons surrounding that nucleus.
Where is a neutron found and what is its charge?
Neutrons are found in the nucleus of atoms. The charge on them is neutral.
Particles that have an electrical charge are known as what?
atoms
What subatomic particle has no net charge?
In the atomic nucleus the neutron has no electrical charge.
Which to particles are found in an atoms nucleus?
There are two particles in an atom's nucleus. The protons carry positive charge. The neutrons have no charge.
