If an atom has 3 protons 3 neutrons and 2 electrons what is the electrical charge of the atom?

It is only possible to state that that an atom with a charge of -2 has two electrons more than it has protons in its nucleus. It is impossible to determine how many protons it has unless you state the specific element in question, and the number of neutrons will depend upon the particular isotope of that element.

∙ 14y agoBoron has an atomic number of 4, so that each neutral atom contains 4 electrons and an ion with a charge of -1 would have 5 electrons. There is insufficient information to determine the number of neutrons, because boron has more than one stable isotope. If the Atomic Mass number is specified, the number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number.

∙ 14y agoIf an atom has two protons, two neutrons and one electron, it has a charge of +1 and is called an ion or cation (a negatively charged ion is called an anion).
Each proton has a charge of +1. Two protons have a charge of +2.
Each neutron has a charge of 0. Two neutrons have a charge of 0.
Each electron has a charge of -1. One electron has a charge of -1.
The ion has a total charge of +2 + 0 + -1 = +1
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe charge of that atom is +1, because it has one more proton, which has +1 charge.

∙ 13y agoNumber of protons minus number of electrons = -1, in this instance.

An atom is electrically neutral because?
An atom has no electrical charge because the negative charge of the electrons counteract the positive charge of the protons and the neutrons in the nucleus have a neutral charge. For example, Carbon has 6 electrons(-6 charge) and has 6 protons(+6 charge). Giving it an atomic weight of 12 and a charge of 0. The 6 neutrons do not change this charge, they keep it the same because they are neutral. (:
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in the isotope 52Mn?
The symbol Mn indicates a manganese atom, which always has 25 protons. The electroneutrality required for any atom requires the presence of 25 electrons to balance the electrical charge of the 25 protons. The mass number, 52 in this instances, is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons. Therefore, the number of neutrons in the isotope is 52 - 25 or 27.
How many protons electrons neutrons does sulfur have?
16 protons, and if it isn't an ion ("isn't an ion" means that it has no electric charge), it has 16 electrons. on average, sulfur has 16.065 neutrons, but that's averaged out, so it's a weird number. let's just say most sulfur has 16 neutrons.
A neutral atom always has what?
Atoms are mostly empty space. They do have a nucleus. This contains subatomic particles. Protons. neutrons, and electrons are all subatomic particles. Protons carry a positive charge. Neutrons carry a neutral charge Electrons carry a negative charge. You may want to see the Bhor/plum-pudding model for more information.
What is the mass number of an ion with 107 electrons 159 neutrons and a plus 1 charge in integer form?
If the ion has a +1 charge and has 107 electrons, that means that it originally had 108 electrons, and therefore has 108 protons. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, 108 + 159, and therefore is equal to 267.
What is the Definition of neutrons protons and electrons?
Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge
What do protons and electrons have but neutrons don't?
Protons and electrons have an electrical charge.
What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
What electrical charge does each have electrons protons neutrons?
Electrons: Negative Protons: Positive Neutrons: Neutral
What kind of elicctcal charge do protons elictrons and nutrons have?
Protons have an electrical charge of +1. Neutrons have an electrical charge of 0. Electrons have an electrical charge of -1.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
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 do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
What are protons neutrons and electrons hint charge?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge
What kinds of electral charge do protons electrons and neutrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
What kind of electrical charge electrons and protons and neutrons have?
e -p +n 0
What charge does subatomic particle of atom have?
Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge Neutrons: without electrical charge
