because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same.
when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
Gained or lost electron(s).
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
since an electron is a negatively charged particle and a proton is a positively charged particle the positive and negative charges will cancel each other so the electrical charge on atom is zero.
Every electron has an electrical charge of minus one. If an electron is added to an atom, then the atom also acquires this electrical charge. If an electron is shared by an atom (by means of a covalent bond) then the atom will acquire a partial negative charge, since it doesn't have all of the electron or all of its charge.
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.
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
A fluorine atom has a negative electrical charge of -1 due to its 9 protons and 10 electrons.
Neutron .
The Electrons and the Protons.
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
Gained or lost electron(s).
Any ion.
electron
A beryllium atom without electrical charge.
Neuton does not have any charge
The electrical charge depends on electrons.
