What else can I help you with?
Describe the three types of small particles within an atom and explain how they are arranged?
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
Why is the atom electrically neutral?
it is neutral because there are the same numbers of protons and electrons in an atom so the positive charge of the proton balances out the negative charge of an electron
What is the charge of an atom that has lost an electron?
This atom become a cation with a +2 electrical charge. All atoms have are neutral because the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. When you subtract any number n of electrons, the new charge is +n, just as a general rule.
The charge due to the electrons of a neutral atom?
As the tern neutral might imply, the overall charge of a neutral atomis zero.
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
Explain why an atom of sodium is neutral?
It is neutral because it has 11 positive protons and 11 negative electrons, balancing the overall electrical charge.
What is A neutral beryllium atom?
A beryllium atom without electrical charge.
What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
Is an atom with the same number of electrons and protons the electrical charge is?
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
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.
What is a neutral particle in a atom?
In the atom the particle without electrical charge is the neutron.
Are atoms neutral and don't have a charge?
A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.
What is the charge of americium?
The atom of americium is neutral; only ions have an electrical charge.
An atom or other object that has no overall electrical charge is said to be what?
It is said to be neutral.
What is the electrical charge on a single atom of an element listed on the Periodic Table?
The atom is neutral.
What does a neutral atom in its ground state look like?
This atom hasn't an electrical charge.
