What is the overall charge on an atom?
The overall charge on an atom will depend on the ratio of protons to electrons in that atom. If the numbers match, the overall charge will be zero. It's a neutral atom. But if electrons have been "captured" or "loaned out" by the atom, an ion is created, and its charge will be negative if it has captured electrons, or positive if it has loaned out electrons. Charge will vary by integer amounts, i.e., the charge will be -1, -2, -3, etc. for the capture of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively, or +1, +2, +3, etc. for the loaning out of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively. Simple and easy.
What is the charge of electrons in an atom?
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
What is aluminum overall charge of an atom?
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
What atom doesn't carry a charge?
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
When bonded covalently N2 has how many unbonded electrons?
The s electrons in N2 are unbonded; there are four of them in each nitrogen atom and therefore 8 in the molecule N2.

What does the atom of ammonia consist of?
One ammonia molecule is made of three hydrogen atoms all singly-covalently bonded to a central nitrogen atom; the nitrogen has two unbonded electrons.

The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
Charge of an atom?
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.

Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
