No an electron does not have a net charge of 0, in fact it has a net charge of -1.

What is the net charge of a system with proton and electron?

The net charge of a system containing one proton and one electron is neutral, or zero. A proton carries a charge of +1 elementary charge, while an electron carries a charge of -1 elementary charge. When these charges are combined, they cancel each other out, resulting in no net charge.


What is the charge of an atom with one proton one neutron and one electron combined?

There is zero net charge as the proton (+ve) and electron (-ve) cancel each other out and the neutron is neutral.


Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?

You misunderstand. A 'Neutron' by its name, is neutrally charged. There is NO charge. The charge of one electron is deemed to be 'minus one (-1). A PROTON is deemed to have a charge of 'plus one (+1)'. Hence the charges of one electron and one proton are equal and opposite. In nuclear physics these two charges are brought together to make a neutral species; a Neutron. +1 - 1 = 0 They do NOT spontaneously come together or split, in a chemical reaction.


Why does Li have a 0 charge?

Lithium does not have a '0' charge. Its electron configuration is 2,1. This means there is one valence electron in its outer shell. Losing this electron will make Lithium have a full shell (2 only) which all atoms try to achieve, therefore Li has a +1 charge because it loses an electron to gain noble gas configuration.


Is electrical charge a subatomic particle?

It is a property, like mass. Not a particle. The electron and proton charges are considered to be the reference charges (-e and +e).

What is the net charge of silver?

The net charge of a silver ion (Ag+) is +1 because it has lost one electron.

A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.

Does hydrogen have a positive electiric charge or not?

Hydrogen can exist as a positively charged ion (H+) when it loses its electron, or as a neutral atom with no net charge when it has one electron and one proton.


Are the charges of an electron cancelled by the charges of a proton?

Yes. The magnitude of electrical charge on a proton is the same as the magnitude of electrical charge on an electron. The charge on a proton is positive and the charge on an electron is neutral, so that a pair containing one of each of them has no net electrical charge.


When an atom gains an electron to create full valence it results in that atom having a net charge of what?

If one electron is gained, then it has a charge of -1.


What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?

If an atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge because electrons have a negative charge. The atom will now have more negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons, resulting in an overall negative charge.

If you were to remove an electron from this sodium atom that has eleven protons what would be the electrical charge of the ion?

If an electron is removed from a sodium atom that has eleven protons, the resulting ion would have a net charge of +1. This is because the atom originally had 11 protons and 11 electrons (11 positive charges and 11 negative charges), but by removing one electron, there is now one more positive charge than negative charge, resulting in a net positive charge of +1.


Why a sodium ion has a charge of 1 plus?

A sodium ion has a charge of 1+ because it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons. Protons have a positive charge, whereas electrons have a negative charge, so losing an electron results in a net positive charge for the sodium ion.


What is the electrical charge of rubidium ion?

The rubidium ion, Rb+, has a charge of +1. This means it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge.
