- if the atom lost an electron then it will be positive
- if it gains an electron then it will be negative
- if it has the same # of protons and nutrons it is nutral

What bears a positive electrical charge while what has no electrical charge?
The proton is the particle that has a positive charge. The neutron is the particle that has a neutral charge. both of these reside in the nucleus of an atom.
If an atom has 15 protons 17 neutrons and 11 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?
the atom would positive
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
What electrical charge does an atom's nucleus have?
The atom's nucleus is positively charged, with the number of positive charges being equal to the atom's atomic number.The nucleus contains positive protons and neutral neutrons making it positive.There are no negatives because electrons are not in the nucleus, but around the nucleus.
Does an atom have an electric charge?
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
When an atom with an electrical charge give a positive and negative charge is what?
I think they connect
What bears a positive electrical charge while what has no electrical charge?
The proton is the particle that has a positive charge. The neutron is the particle that has a neutral charge. both of these reside in the nucleus of an atom.
What is a a particle in an atom that has a positive electrical charge?
That's a proton.
What is the electrical charge of the components of an atom?
Neutrons have no charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
What parts of an atom have electrical charges?
The proton has a positive charge and the electron has a negative charge.
If an atom has 15 protons 17 neutrons and 11 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?
the atom would positive
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
What charge does subatomic particle of atom have?
Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge Neutrons: without electrical charge
What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
What electrical charge is always on the nucleus of an atom?
Positive. Negative electrons are not on the nucleus.
What electrical charge does an atom's nucleus have?
The atom's nucleus is positively charged, with the number of positive charges being equal to the atom's atomic number.The nucleus contains positive protons and neutral neutrons making it positive.There are no negatives because electrons are not in the nucleus, but around the nucleus.
