The nucleus contains protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which have no charge. The nucleus has a charge equal to the sum of all of the protons, so the nucleus is therefore always positively charged.

An atom is electrically nuetral if?

It has the same number of protons (+ive charge) as it does electrons (- ive charge). If it does then the charges cancel each other out, making a neutral atom. If there is a charge then this is not an atom this is an ion. Hope this helped.


What is the property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons?

The property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons is the net charge of the atom. If the total charge of protons equals the total charge of electrons, the atom is neutral. If there is a difference between the two, the atom becomes either positively or negatively charged.


Why an atom has the same number of which to particles?

An atom has the same number of protons and electrons in order to maintain a neutral charge value for the atom. Otherwise it would attract or release electrons in order to achieve a neutral charge value.


How is the charge on an individual atom represented?

The charge of an atom as a whole is zero. We can give the charge of a nucleus. If any electron, negatively charged one, go out of atom then the atom gets positive charge and it is named as positive ion. Same way if excess electrons get cling with the neutral atom then the atom becomes a negative ion.


How can a atom have a neutral?

If an atom contains the same number of protons (positive) as electrons (negative), then to an outside observer, the atom has a neutral charge because the protons's charge and the electron's charge balance each other out exactly.


In an atom what numbers have to be equal?

An atom must have the same number of electrons and protons to have a neutral charge.


What is in the nucleus of an atom and has no electrial charge?

What makes an atom neutrally charge?

Same no. of protons/neutrons.
