What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
An atom that has lost two electrons is called?
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
A nuclear particle with no charge?
Atomic particles with no charge are neutrons, and neutrinos.
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 do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is an atom that has an electric charge because it lost or gained electrons?
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
Why does an atom no electrical charge?
Having a charge it is called an ION. No charge means: same number of protons and electrons.
What are the particles which have a negative electical charge in an atom called?
A particle with a negative electrical charge is called an electron.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it has an electrical charge. It is known as?
It is called an ion.
Does an atom have an electric charge?
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
What is the electrical charge of an atom?
An atom does not have an electrical charge. Atoms have equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If there are not equal numbers of protons (+1) and electrons (-1) then it is not called an atom, it is called an ion.
What is an atom with one or more electrons added or subtracted it has an electrical charge?
This is called an ion.
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
What is the electrical charge of a fluorine atom?
-1 charge
What is an atom that has an electrical charge?
Neutron .
What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
