What is the overall charge of the atom since the atom contains positive charges and negative charges. how is that possible?

An atom is always neutral of charge, meaning ZERO. This is possible because of the equal numbers of (positive) protons and (negative) electrons, each plus charge is compensated by one (equally negative) minus charge.


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.


What is the formula for H plus 1 plus H minus 1?

The formula for H plus 1 plus H minus 1 is 2H. This is because the +1 and -1 charges cancel each other out, leaving only the H atom.


Which atom has 49 protons?

if im correct u will have 126 elctrons no you will have 49 you must have the same amount if the atom is to have no charge. Protons are positive and electrons are negative, there for they have the same amount


What kind of electric does an atom have?

That depends on the number of protons and electrons present. One electron has a charge of minus one. A proton has a charge of plus one. Add charges to arrive at the charge of the atom total. Example: an H+ ion consists of a single proton, and has no electrons. Its charge therefore is +1.

How many protons and electrons dose Na plus have?

11 protons and 10 electrons


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
