Molecules are not atoms, but are made up of several atoms. The individual atoms may carry a charge, but when combined, the molecule as a whole does not.

Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?

Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.


Which carry an electric charge in solution?

Ions carry an electric charge in solution. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. This charge allows ions to conduct electricity in solution.


Are atoms the carry an electric charge?

Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)


How are molecules different from atoms?

Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.


What atoms have no overall charge?

Atoms with no overall charge are called neutral atoms. They have the same number of protons, which carry a positive charge, and electrons, which carry a negative charge. This balance of positive and negative charges leads to a neutral overall charge for the atom.


Is water an ion?

No, water is not an ion. Water molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and they do not carry a net electric charge.


Do atoms in a nonpolar bonds carry electrical charge?

No. Atoms in polar bonds carry partial charges.


What molecules have an uneven charge with more negative charge on the side and more positive charge on the other?

Polar molecules such as water (H2O) have an uneven charge distribution, with the oxygen atom being more electronegative and carrying a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms carry partial positive charges. Additionally, molecules like ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) can also exhibit this uneven charge distribution due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms.


What is the charge on an electron and how does it affect the behavior of atoms and molecules?

The charge on an electron is negative. This charge affects the behavior of atoms and molecules by influencing how they interact with each other through attraction and repulsion. Electrons play a key role in forming chemical bonds between atoms, which determine the structure and properties of molecules.


Where is majority of negative charge on the water molecule?

Water molecules consist of hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules. Most of the negative charge comes from the oxygen molecules while the hydrogen molecules carry the positive charge.


The most common charge of phosphorous?

The neutrals phosphorus carry zero charge atoms.


Pieces of atoms that carry a negative charge?

They are called electrons.
