A polar atom has uneven distribution of charges in an atom.
A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons.
polarity
Polar
The atomic nucleus is positive.Electrons are negative.
In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.
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.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
The atomic nucleus is positive.Electrons are negative.
In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.
A polar atom is an atom that has a positive and negative charge distribution within its structure, typically due to differences in electronegativity. This causes the atom to have a slightly positive charge on one side and a slightly negative charge on the other side. Water (H2O) is a commonly cited example of a polar molecule, with oxygen being the polar atom as it pulls the shared electrons more strongly towards itself.
what changes the charge of the atom
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
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.
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.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
