Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
An atom or group of atoms that carries an electric charge is called an?
Electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Ions occur when an atom looses or gains electrons. A normal atom is neutral, because it has the same number of positive protons and negative neutrons. When electrons are lost or gained, the atom can become positive (a cation) or negative (an anion). When an atom is positeve or negative, it is electrically charged.
Why does DNA have a negative charge?
DNA has a negative charge because of the phosphate groups in its structure, which carry negative charges due to the presence of oxygen atoms.
What particles in atoms have a negative electric charge?
Electrons.
Who discovered the atoms contained electric charge?
benjamin franklin
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
Scientist who discovered that atoms contained electric charge?
Benjamin franklin
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
How do particles of in atoms differ in electric charge?
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons possess no charge.
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.

Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
Why do atoms have no electric charge even though most of the particles inside the atoms have charges?
Because the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus is exactly canceled by the negative charge of the electrons in the orbitals around it.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
