There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
The water molecule has two pairs of unbonded electrons, also known as lone pairs. These lone pairs are located on the oxygen 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.
The Lewis dot structure of N3 (nitrogen trihydride) consists of three nitrogen atoms bonded together by covalent bonds, with each nitrogen atom having a lone pair of electrons. The structure appears as N≡N-N with a total of 10 valence electrons.
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
The charge of electrons in an atom is negative, with a magnitude of -1. This negative charge is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the positive charge of protons in the nucleus, which helps maintain the overall neutrality of the atom.
Excited State -_-
The s electrons in N2 are unbonded; there are four of them in each nitrogen atom and therefore 8 in the molecule N2.

The dot structure begins with a P atom in the center, with four singly bonded O atoms, one at each cardinal direction. Each O atom has a pair of dots on the unbonded sides. Finally, the structure is bracketed and noted with a 3- superscript.
what changes the charge of the atom
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
