The nucleus of an atom is composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. Therefore the nucleus is positively charged, and is equivalent to its atomic number found in the Periodic Table of the elements. For example, Hydrogen is +1, Oxygen +15. The total charge of the entire atom depends on both the number of protons and the number of electrons, which occur outside the nucleus.

∙ 13y agoAll atomic nuclei are positively charged. This is because protons make up the nucleus (with neutrons). Protons have a positive charge, and the overall charge of any atom's atomic nucleus will be equal to the number of protons in it, or its atomic number. To cite a few examples, the nuclear charge of hydrogen is +1, and carbon is +6, and iron is +26, and uranium is +92.

∙ 13y agoWhen Ernest Rutherford did his Gold-Foil Experiment, he shot alpha particles (positive charge) through a piece of gold foil. He found most went through but some were deflected, therefore he came to the conclusion that most of the atom is empty space with a positively charged nucleus.
The nucleus has a positive charge because the protons (which are positively charged) are concentrated there. The amount of positive charge is determined by the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

What electrical charge does an atom's nucleus have?
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.
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.
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.
Is the center of an atom a neutron?
No the center of an atom (nucleus) is made up of both protons and neutrons.
What is the Proton location in an atom?
Protons make up the nucleus of the atom. They have a +1 electrical charge and a mass of 1.6726 x 10^-27kg. Protons are located next in the center of an atom since they make up the nucleus (the center). Protons as well as neutrons are located in the nucleus. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus- they are what give an atom a charge(make it an ion).
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.
Which part of the atom is found in the center of the atom and has no electric charge?
A neutron has no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.Alternate wording to an inexact question:If you are referring to the nucleus of an atom, there must always be at least one proton. So there has to always be a positive charge. The other component, the neutron, has no charge. The electrons orbiting the nucleus have the negative charge. So if no electrical charge is found in the nucleus, it is not an atom and therefore not a nucleus.
What is a small particle in the nucleus of an atom with no electrical charge?
neutron
Lacking electrical charge?
The neutron, a subatomic particle inside the nucleus of an atom, does not have a charge.
What electrical charge does an atom's nucleus have?
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.
What is the particale with a negative electrical charge that circles the nucleus of an atom?
an electron
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.
What lacking electrical charge?
The neutron, a subatomic particle inside the nucleus of an atom, does not have a charge.
What is the electrical charge of the 2 particles found in the nucleus of an atom?
protons and neutrons
Particle found in the nucleus of an atom which carries no electrical charge?
That would be the neutron
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.
