YES!!!
Those elements which are radio-active. They under go nucler fussion/fusion. but the resulting element has no charge.
Atoms with a charge are NO longer atoms but IONs.
e/g
Sodium(Na) as an atom has no charge. It contains 11 protons(+) and eleven electrons (-). However, it readily ionises to the sodium ION which has a charge of 1+ This is because there are 11 protons and only 10 electrons . Hence by a little sum +11 -10 = +1 So it is Na^+ (The sodium ion) .
Similarly for chlorine. Chlorine(Cl) as an atom has no charge. It contains 17 protons(+) and seventeen electrons (-). However, it readily accepts an electron (electron affinity) to the chloride ION which has a charge of 1- This is because there are 17 protons and only 18 electrons . Hence by a little sum +17 -18= -1 So it is Cl^- (The chloride ion) .
NB Positive ions are named CATIONS and negative ions are named ANIONS.
NNB The neutrons in each atom have been ignored because they do not affect the charge.
What else can I help you with?
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
What is the overall charge on any atom?
An atom is neutral, and therefore has an overall charge of zero. If an atom either loses or gains electrons through a chemical reaction, or loses protons through radioactive decay, so that it then has an overall charge, it is no longer considered to be an atom but is classified as an ion.
What is the rule for neutral atom?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, which balances the positive and negative charges. This balance results in no overall electric charge for the atom. For example, a carbon atom has six protons and six electrons, making it neutral. The number of neutrons can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element, but they do not affect the atom's 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 aluminum overall charge of an atom?
The overall charge of an aluminum atom is neutral, as it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). A neutral atom of aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons.
What is the electric charge of the nucleus of every atom?
neutral
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
What is overall electric charge?
Overall electric charge is a property of matter that can be positive, negative, or neutral. It results from the presence and balance of protons (positive charge), electrons (negative charge), and neutrons (no charge) within an atom or object. The overall charge of a system is determined by the net number of protons and electrons.
In a neutral atom what is the relationship between the number of protons and electrons?
They are equal.
What is the overall charge on any atom?
An atom is neutral, and therefore has an overall charge of zero. If an atom either loses or gains electrons through a chemical reaction, or loses protons through radioactive decay, so that it then has an overall charge, it is no longer considered to be an atom but is classified as an ion.
Is the charge on a neutral chlorine atom zero?
Yes, the charge on a neutral chlorine atom is zero. In its neutral state, a chlorine atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge.
What word is used to describe an atom with no overall charge?
Neutral.
An atom or other object that has no overall electrical charge is said to be what?
It is said to be neutral.
What is an atom with an overall electric charge called?
An Ion
