If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.

Is elctric charge a property of just electricity or is charge property of all atoms?

Charge is a property of subatomic particles like protons and electrons, which are present in all atoms. All atoms contain some combination of positively charged protons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus. This gives atoms an overall neutral charge, but they do have individual charges on their component particles.


What is the charge of a oxygen atom?

ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.


Is it trie that all atoms have a positive charge?

No, it is not true that all atoms have a positive charge. Atoms are composed of protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons, resulting in no overall charge. However, some atoms can lose or gain electrons, resulting in charged ions, which can be either positively or negatively charged.

Why Shouldn't every sample of matter have a negative charge Since all atoms have negatively charged electrons?

Not all atoms have negatively charged electrons. Atoms can also contain positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance between its protons and electrons, leading to atoms having no net charge or a positive charge.

Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?

Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
