The total positive charge of the nucleus is cancelled by the negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus. Hence atoms are electrically neutral

What is the charge on lithium and carbon atoms?

Lithium atoms carry a charge of +1, as they have 3 protons and 2 electrons. Carbon atoms do not have a net charge, as they have 6 protons and 6 electrons, balancing out the positive and negative charges.


Which carry an electric charge in solution?

Ions carry an electric charge in solution. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. This charge allows ions to conduct electricity in solution.

Atoms are neutral in charge


Atoms have a net charge of zero true or false?

True. The atoms have a proton which has a positive charge and there are same number of electrons with a negative charge. Those two charges cancel each other out and the charge becomes zero. The neutrons do not have any charge.


What holds an electrical charge?

An electrical charge is held by particles called electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge, and they are found within atoms. When there is an imbalance of electrons or protons, an object can have a net electrical charge.


Is water an ion?

No, water is not an ion. Water molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and they do not carry a net electric charge.


Do a slab of n type material carry a net negative charge?

No. The "n" and "p" does not refer to the negative or positive charge, but to the fact that there are atoms that can easily "donate" electrons (n-type), or atoms that can easily "accept" electrons (p-type).


What is a atom with a net positiveor negative charge?

Atoms do not have any charge, if they have, they are called as ions.


Is glucose nonionic?

Yes, glucose is a nonionic molecule. It consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in a neutral state, meaning it does not carry a net electrical charge.


What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?

Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
