No , an atom always has equal numbers of protons and electrons. If it has more charges of one kind than another is called an ion. Obviously this is caused by the number of protons and electrons compared to each other. If it has more positive charges, it has more protons than electrons, making it a positive ion. If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
What else can I help you with?
What are the positive charges in an atom?
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
What is the charge of an atom with more negative charges than positive charges?
it depends on how many negative atoms u have. e.g: Oxygen is -2 it means that your earning 2 more electrons to make a full shell if its +1 it means that your losing one electron. So once u see + your losing electrons and if you see - your gaining electrons (also known as negative atoms)
An atom contains fewer electrons than protons has as negative ionic charge?
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No, positive objects can contain a mix of positive and negative charges. For example, in an atom, the nucleus contains positive protons while the surrounding electron cloud contains negative electrons.
What are the positive charges in an atom?
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
What does positive and negative charges make?
They stem from the nucleus of an atom. The atom is composed of electrons, which emit a negative charge, protons which emit positive charges and neutrons which have a neutral charge. When an atom, had a plus positive or minus negative charged, it is called an ion. ion because it either has an extra electron giving it a negative charge, or its missing an electron, giving it a positive charge
What is the charge of an atom with more negative charges than positive charges?
it depends on how many negative atoms u have. e.g: Oxygen is -2 it means that your earning 2 more electrons to make a full shell if its +1 it means that your losing one electron. So once u see + your losing electrons and if you see - your gaining electrons (also known as negative atoms)

An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).
Does a ion contain one or more positive or negative charges?
Yes, an ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. A positive ion is called a cation, while a negative ion is called an anion.
When an atom is negative or positive?
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
What is true about the number of positive and negative charges in a charged object?
A charged object can have an unequal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge. An object with more positive charges than negative charges will have a positive net charge, and vice versa for negative charges.
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
