The charge of an atom as a whole is zero. We can give the charge of a nucleus. If any electron, negatively charged one, go out of atom then the atom gets positive charge and it is named as positive ion. Same way if excess electrons get cling with the neutral atom then the atom becomes a negative ion.

In an atom the particles with a negative charge are called what?
a particle with a negative charge in an atom is an electron
What part of the atom that carries no electric charge?
An atom that is not an ion has no electric charge. If it is particles that make up the atom you speak of, the nucleus houses the neutron; an elementary particle with zero charge.
The positive charge of the atom?
The part of the atom that carries a positive charge is the proton.
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
What is a charge in an atom?
An atom can either have a positive or negative charge, and a charged atom is called an ion. If an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes a positive ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.
What is the charge on an atom of copper that has lost two electrons and how is this ion represented?
+2 is the charge represented Cu2+
How do you write the formula for an atom of hydrogen?
An atom of hydrogen is represented by the letter H and a superscript denoting the charge of the atom if it has one.
Which component of the atom is not represented in Rutherford's atomic molecule?
When Rutherford discovered the positive charge in an atom was concentrated in the nucleus, the neutron had yet to be discovered. There are no neutrons in Rutherford's model.
Are electrons in an atom represented by a O?
No. It is represented by an e- :)
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
Charge of an atom?
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
What is the charge of electrons in an atom?
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
What happens to the atom when alpha radiation is given off?
When an atom undergoes alpha radiation, it does so in order to become more stable. It does this by releasing 2 Protons and 2 Neutrons as a whole. This is essentially a helium atom with a -2 charge. This can be represented by: 42He-2
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
