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 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.
So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
It would have no charge because each of the negative and positive charges from the protons and electrons would cancel each other out.
No, an isotope is an atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. A positive charge on an atom would indicate it has either lost electrons or gained protons.
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
There is no charge. The atom is neutral.
0 -- neutral -- no charge

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.
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.

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.
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.
An atom must have the same number of electrons and protons to have a neutral charge.
The same number of protons as the atom has electrons in its outer shells.
Same no. of protons/neutrons.
