What is the electric charge of a neutron?
A neutron doesn't have an electrical charge; its electric charge is zero.
What is the total electric charge on molecules and compounds?
The total electric charge is always zero.
How do the particles of an atom differ in electric charge?
some is positive and some are negative and some are neutral and thats how there differ
What is an atom or molecule with electric charge?
In chemistry, particles with an overall electric charge are called ions.
Do opposite charges attract each other?
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Is elctric charge a property of just electricity or is charge property of all atoms?
Electric charge is a property of some subatomic particles. Atoms can be neutral (zero electric charge), or they can have a charge. If they have a charge, they are called ions.
Why do atoms have no electric charge even though most of the particles inside the atoms have charges?
Because the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus is exactly canceled by the negative charge of the electrons in the orbitals around it.
Which particles in atoms have a electric charge?
electrons
Are atoms different from molecules because they do not have an electrical charge?
No. An atom is the basic unit of matter, and a next step up would be a molecule, which is just made up of atoms. Atoms and molecules can have an electric charge.
Why do atom have no electric charge even though most of their particles have charge?
Non ionic atoms have no electric charge, even though most of their particles have charge, because the positive particles (protons) balance the negative particles (electrons).
What are atoms with a positive electric charge called?
Cations.
Do atoms have no overall electric charge?
Correct
What particles in atoms have a negative electric charge?
Electrons.
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
