Why isn't every ionic compound either positively or negatively charged?
A compound has no overall electrical charge because when it forms, the dynamics that allow its formation are such that there is a charge balance. This results in no overall electrical charge. Let's look at one example. If we burn hydrogen gas (H2) in air with oxygen gas (O2), we get H2O, or water. The individual hydrogen atoms have balanced charges (a proton and an electron), and the oxygen atoms also have balanced charges (8 protons and 8 electrons). When all three atoms get together to form the water molecule, they bring all their charges with them. The result is a water molecule with balanced charges. Charges don't just "disappear" in the reaction, but are "conserved" in the resultant compound.
Do atoms in polar covalent bonds carry slight electrical charges?
Yes. they do contain partial charges.
What is a chemical bond is formed when atoms are attracted to each other by opposite electrical charges?
Strictly speaking, when atoms become electrically charged they are described as ions, rather than atoms, so atoms do not get attracted to each other by charge. Ionic bonds form between ions.
Do atoms in a nonpolar bonds carry electrical charge?
No. Atoms in polar bonds carry partial charges.
What are atoms electrically neutral?
if an atom is electrically neutral it has twice as many nuetrons as it does protons and electrons.
What is the nature of a atoms electrical charges?
An atom is electrically neutral.it contain proton which is +ve electron which is -ve and neutron which is neutral.

How can you tell if an atom is electrically charged?
atoms r electrically charged cuz it has same no of positive charges ands negative charges. so atom is electrically nuetral.
What is the atoms electrical charge?
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Why atom is electrical nutral?
atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal number of proton and electron.
Do atoms in polar covalent bonds carry slight electrical charges?
Yes. they do contain partial charges.

Strictly speaking, when atoms become electrically charged they are described as ions, rather than atoms, so atoms do not get attracted to each other by charge. Ionic bonds form between ions.
What are their respective charges of a atom?
Electrically charged atoms are called ions: positive charge - cations, negative charge - anions.
Are atoms a nonpolar covalent bond carry slight electrical charges?
true
Atoms with the same number of protons but with different electrical charges have different?
ions
Definition for mineral ions?
The definition of mineral atoms are as follows: The grouping of individual atoms. These atoms have electrical charges, but only by gaining electrons.
How are atoms electricaly neutral?
Electrical charges of protons and electrons are neutralized each other.
