because, in a neutral atom, there are the same numbers of positive and negative particles that cancel each other out. for example, the attraction (or lack thereof) between an electron and hydrogen
an electron is attracted to the hydrogen's proton
an electron is repelled by the hydrogen's electron
the attraction and repel results in the electron being neutrally affected by the atom
What else can I help you with?
Is matter usually charge-neutral?
Yes, matter is typically charge-neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles (protons and electrons, respectively). This balance of charges allows matter to maintain a neutral overall charge.
What structure of the atom has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles?
The structure of the atom that has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles is the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, tightly packed together in the center of the atom.
Why does an atom have no electrical charge?
Atoms have equal number of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles and some particles having no charge. Since numbers of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles are equal the NET charge as whole is zero.
An electrically neutral object can be attracted by a positively charged object because?
A neutral pith ball is still "charged", it just doesn't display excessively charged behavior. Since it is neutral, having nearly equal positive and negative charge, the proximity of the positively charged pith ball still attracts the negative charge present in the ball, inducing polarization moving the ball closer to the positively charged one. Once they make contact, the conductibility of the pith ball quickly accepts excess charge from the other, creating a like charge repulsion.
What describes a neutral atom?
An atom is composed of these sub particles: protons, nuetron, and electrons. Inside the nucleus there are protons (positively charges) and nuetrons(nuetrally charges). Ouside of the atom's nucleaus are electrons (negatively charged). An atom is said to be nuetrally charged if there are the same number of protons and electrons.
Is matter usually charge-neutral?
Yes, matter is typically charge-neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles (protons and electrons, respectively). This balance of charges allows matter to maintain a neutral overall charge.
Charged particles located in the nucleus?
Protons having +ive charge .
Having the same number or protons but different number of electrons?
This relationship is for an atom and its ion.
What structure of the atom has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles?
The structure of the atom that has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles is the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, tightly packed together in the center of the atom.
Why would a linear accelerator have no effect on a neutron?
A linear accelerator works by having a magnet at the end of the accelerator. If the particle is neutral then it will not be attracted to the magnet and therefore nothing will happen, as in the case of a neutron.
What are substances having no charge called?
Neutral particles. An example is neutron found in the nucleus of an atom.
What are the implications of having charged particles in an atom?
So the electrons in the atom can react with each other.
Why does an atom have no electrical charge?
Atoms have equal number of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles and some particles having no charge. Since numbers of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles are equal the NET charge as whole is zero.
When ions having a positively charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Why is an atom neutral dispite having charged partricals?
The charge of the protons is exactly opposite to the charge of the same number of electrons.
How do you know if your starter don't work?
It'll fail to crank over the engine despite having a fully charged battery.
Why photons are electrically neutral?
They are only neutral' in the sense of having no charge - they do have an electrical field. If they had charge, they would also have rest mass, because the charge represents energy and energy and mass are the same thing. So they would not travel at the speed of light. At least classically, it is not possible to have a charged massless particle.
