What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons ans six electrons?

An atom has no net charge, and is therefore neutral, as long as the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.
There would be no charge. If there is the same number of protons to electrons, there would be no extra attraction to create a charge.

∙ 9y agoAn atom with the 6 protons (p+), 6 neutrons (n) and 5 electrons (e-) would have an electrical charge of +1. This is because the the total +p charge is 6 and e- is -5.

∙ 15y agoA stable atom has the same number of protons and electrons, so this atom has 6 electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt's not charged. There must be a different number of protons and electrons for an atom to become a charged ion.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThis atom (happens to be Carbon, atom number 6) has a ZERO charge, like all atoms they have equal numbers of protons (charge +1) and electrons (charge -1).
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoProtons have a positive charge, and electrons are negative.
If there are 6 electrons and 6 protons there would be no charge, the atom is neutral.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThis is a neutral atom.

How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
What if their are 8 protons in an atom how many electrons are their?
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.
If an atom has 19 protons and 20 neutrons how many electrons would it have?
Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Therefore, if an atom is to be neutral it must have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Consequently, if an atom has 19 protons and is neutral it must have 19 electrons.
What is the total charge of an atom with 4 protons 3 neutrons and 5 electrons?
It is a neutral atom - beryllium. The protons and electrons balance each other exactly so there is no overall charge.
What is the total number of protons in an atom that has 24 electrons and 25 neutrons?
There can not be an atom with more electrons than protons, however to find the atomic mass of any atom disregard the electrons and add the number of protons and nuetrons together. The previous answer is correct in that the atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons and in a neutral atom the number of protons and electrons are equal. Atoms have can have a charge, they are then called ions. The way the become charged is either through the loss (oxidation) or gain (reduction) of electrons. Therefore it is possible to have a charged atom with more or less electrons than protons.
What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
Why do most atoms have the same number of protons and electrons?
So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
If there are two electrons in an atom how many protons would be in the atom?
The atom in a normal state would have two protons to match the two electrons, making the overall charge zero. If the atom is an ion, it would have an mismatched number of protons and electrons, giving it a positive or negative overall charge.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
What if their are 8 protons in an atom how many electrons are their?
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
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 determine the charge of an atom?
It depends on the number of electrons and protons the charge of an atom depends on the number of electrons and the number of protons

Is the number of protons the positive charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
If an atom has 19 protons and 20 neutrons how many electrons would it have?
Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Therefore, if an atom is to be neutral it must have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Consequently, if an atom has 19 protons and is neutral it must have 19 electrons.
