Argon is usually electrically neutral and has no charge. It is possible to ionize it, however (at very high temperatures or by means of a high voltage) at which point it would have a positive charge.

How many positive charges does the helium atom have?

A helium atom has two positive charges, as it contains two protons in its nucleus. These protons contribute to the atomic number of helium, which is 2. Additionally, helium typically has two electrons, which balance the positive charges, making the atom electrically neutral.


How many electric charges does atoms of helium have?

An atom of helium has 2 electric charges, which are positive protons in the nucleus and negative electrons surrounding the nucleus.


How many electrons are in an atom of 40 18 ar?

An atom of (^{40}_{18}\text{Ar}) (argon) has 18 electrons. This is because the number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, and for argon, the atomic number is 18. Thus, an atom of argon has 18 protons and 18 electrons.


How many electrons are there in an argo atom?

Argon is a non metal element. There are 18 electrons in a single atom.


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.
