That gives you the net charge of the atom. If there is the same amount of protons and electrons, the net charge is zero, and the atom is said to be neutral.

What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?

Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.


What is a property of protons and electrons?

Protons have a positive charge and they have mass. Electrons have a negative charge and have almost no mas (it is about 1/2000th that of a proton).


Protons and electrons have this?

Protons and electrons have mass and charge.


What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?

Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.


What charge is any atom?

the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions


Why are electrons negative?

Electrons are negative because they have a fundamental property called charge, which is a fundamental property of matter. Electrons have a negative charge, while protons have a positive charge. This charge difference is what allows electrons to interact with other particles and create the electrical forces that govern many aspects of the physical world.


What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?

The total charge on an oxygen ion with 8 protons and 10 electrons is +2, because oxygen normally has 8 protons and 8 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge. Adding 2 extra electrons gives a net charge of -2.


What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?

The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.


What charge does an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?

A net postive charge


Whats the difference between electrons and protons?

Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.


What are the charges of Protons Neutronsand Electrons?

Protons have + charge and electrons have - charge.Neutrons does not contain any charge.


What do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?

Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
