The nucleus of an atom is made up of particles called neutrons and protons. Neutrons have no charge, but protons are positively charged. Therefore the only charge present is a positive one.

What is the charge of the atoms nucleus?

The net charge of the nucleus is positive because the electrons (e-) are not in the nucleus there are around it in the outer shells.


An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of?

An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of +3.


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.


Why does the nucleus in every atom have a positive charge?

the nucleus contains only protons and neutrons which have no charge. since protons are postively charged, all nuclei are postively charged. the negative electrons fly around outside the nucleus, so every atom is neutral, but the center is only positive. hydrogen usually has no neutrons unless it's a relatively rare isotope of H-2 or H-3, but the nuclei are still +.


What is the net charge for any compound?

The net charge for any compound is typically zero, as the total positive charge from the protons in the nucleus is balanced by the total negative charge from the electrons surrounding the nucleus. In some cases, compounds may have a net charge due to the presence of ions, where the total number of protons is not equal to the total number of electrons.

Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an atom?

The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The charge of an atom overall is neutral, as the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) in a neutral atom.


Which has a necular charge?

I assume it's an incorrect spelling of "nuclear charge".


What is the small core at the center of an atom containing positive charge?

Nucleus, made up of protons and nuetrons. The nucleus. If an atom has positive charge it means one or more electrons has gone missing, leaving a net positive charge due to protons in the nucleus.


What is the total charge at the nucleus of silicon atom?

the nucleus of silicon contains neutrons and protons. neutrons are electrically neutral. The atomic no. of Si is 14, which means the Si nucleus contains 14 protons, so the charge at the nucleus of silicon atom is +14


Why does an atom have no net electronic charge?

Atoms have positively charged protons in the nucleus and an equal number of negatively charged electrons in orbitals outside the nucleus. The positive and negative charges are balance.


An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of?

An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of +3.


Does The nucleus of an aluminum atom have a charge of plus 13 and is surrounded by a total of 13 electrons?

Aluminum's atomic number is 13, meaning it has 13 protons in the nucleus and typically 13 electrons surrounding the nucleus in a neutral atom. The protons carry a positive charge of +1 each, so the nucleus would have a net positive charge of +13.


What is the overall charge of the atom since the atom contains positive charges and negative charges. how is that possible?

An atom is always neutral of charge, meaning ZERO. This is possible because of the equal numbers of (positive) protons and (negative) electrons, each plus charge is compensated by one (equally negative) minus charge.
