Which particle determines the nuclear charge?
Protons determine the nuclear charge of an atom. Each proton carries a positive charge and is located in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and therefore its nuclear charge.
In a neutral atom what is the relationship between the number of protons and electrons?
They are equal.
Protons have no electric charge?
Protons do have positive electrical charge with value 1.6 x 10-19 C. Photons of course don't have electrical charge Positrons are anti particles of electrons and they have same charge as that of proton. Neutrons don't have electrical charge.
How is the charge of the atom or ion determined from the number of protons neutrons and electrons present?
Atoms have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and electrons have electric charge, but neutrons do not. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. An atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Because the atom has same amounts of positively and negatively charged particles, the atom is neutral and has no electric charge. The only time an atom becomes electrically charged is if it loses or gains protons or electrons to throw off the balance. For example, we know that hydrogen only has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. This hydrogen atom has not electric charge. Later on, the hydrogen atom gains a proton. This would mean that there is more positive charge than negative charge in the atom. The hydrogen atom is now electrically charged.
What is the part of the atom that carries no electric charge?
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
How much electric charge does an object have?
An object's electric charge is typically measured in coulombs (C). The electric charge of an object depends on the number of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The total charge of an object is the difference between the number of protons and electrons.
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
When do atoms have no electric charge equal number of protons and what?
nuetron
What does it mean for an atom to have an electric charge?
The number of electrons do not match the number of protons.
How do you figure out an atoms electric charge?
well you take the number of protons and you subract the number of electrons thus giving you the electric charge of an element
What has an electric charge?
An electrical charge occurs when the number of protons in a nucleus differs from the number of electrons surrounding that nucleus.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
Why don't atoms have electric charge?
The charge of an atom depends on the number of protons as compared with the number of electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1 ECU (electron charge unit), and each proton has a charge of +1 ECU. An Ion is an atom that has a net electric charge that is not 0, because of the introduction or removal of electrons.
What are atoms that carry an electric charge?
An atom that does not have a neutral charge is called an ion. It has an unequal number of protons and electrons.
Protons and electrons have this?
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
