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
When is an atom electrically charged?
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
Are most atoms neutral?
The atomic nucleus is not neutral, it is positively charged (the exact charge depends upon the element in question; the hydrogen nucleus is +1, the helium nucleus is +2, etc). The atom as a whole is electrically neutral, unless it becomes ionized.
Are atoms electrically charged particles?
An electron is a sub-atomic particle, not an atom. But it is electrically charged (it has a charge of minus one). The simplest atom, the hydrogen one isotope, has just one proton and one electron. An electron is a part of an atom. Every atom is composed of protons and electrons. Usually there are also neutrons. Protons are positively charged +1 and electrons are charged -1. Neutrons are neutral. When the number of protons and electrons are equal the atom is neutral. When an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons it is charged either - or +. More electrons make it - and more protons make it +. In both cases the atom is called an ion.
What is Thomson theory?
An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electron embedded in it,The positive and the negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, due to which an atom is electrically neutral. It has no over all negative or positive charge.
Which atom is electrically neutral?
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
What is an example of an electrically neutral atom?
An example of an electrically neutral atom is carbon. Carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons, giving it an equal number of positive and negative charges, which cancels out to make it electrically neutral.
Is the magnesium atom electrically neutral or electrically charged?
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral. It has 12 protons in the nucleus, which are positively charged, and 12 electrons surrounding the nucleus, which are negatively charged. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
Is a aluminum an isotope ion or neutral atom?
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
Why is an atom electrically neutral?
An atom is electrically neutral because it has the same number of protons (positively charged) in its nucleus as electrons (negatively charged) surrounding the nucleus. This balancing of positive and negative charges within the atom results in an overall neutral charge.
When an atoms electrical charges are balanced the atom is electrically?
When an atom's electrical charges are balanced, the atom is electrically neutral. This means it has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).
How can an atom be electrically neutral when its protons change?
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
Is an electrically neutral atom the number of protons equals the number?
Yes, an electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. When these charges are balanced, the atom as a whole is neutral.
The electrically neutral particle found in an atom is the?
Neutron
An electrically neutral is what?
an electrically neutral atom is just an atom. Atoms with more or fewer electrons (negatively charged) compared with their protons (which determines the element) are considered ions.
What charge positive negative or neutral does the complete atom have?
"Complete atom" sounds like a neutral atom - same number of protons and electrons. If you add or remove some electrons, you will have a non-zero electric charge.
Does the basic atom have a nuetral charge?
Yes, a basic atom has is electrically neutral.
