Is the nucleus positive due to the neutrons?

No. Neutrons have a neutral charge. The nucleus is positive due to the presence of protons which have a positive charge.


Why is the net charge of the nucleus always positive?

The nucleus of an atom is made up of particles called neutrons and protons. Neutrons have no charge, but protons are positively charged. Therefore the only charge present is a positive one.


What part of the atom carries a positive charge?

Protons are positive Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. the electrons are also in the electron clouds. the protons and neutrons of an atom are in the nucleus.


Is the nucleus made of protons and neutrons with a negative charge?

The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons, but it has a positive charge, not negative.


Why is the overall charge on the nucleus positive?

The nucleus has a positive charge because it is inhabited by protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons are neutral, so even if there was one proton and 10 neutrons, the nucleus would still have a positive charge.


What is the charge of the atoms nucleus?

The net charge of the nucleus is positive because the electrons (e-) are not in the nucleus there are around it in the outer shells.


Is the nucleus of an atom negatively or positively charged?

The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge, as this is where protons are located.


What does the nuclous do?

If you mean the nucleus, than I have the answer. The nucleus is the part of an atom that holds protons and neutrons. (Protons have positive charge, neutrons have no charge.)


What is the charge of the nucleus of every atom?

The nucleus of every atom has positive charge because protons and neutrons of those atoms have positive charge..PROTON which has positive charge is residing IN the nucleus,an ELECTRON, which has negative charge is to be 'found' around the nucleus in a socalled shell.


What is the charge of the nucleus of atoms?

Because protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, the atomic nucleus has a positive charge.


Positive part of the nucleus?

The positive part of the nucleus is the protons, which have a positive charge. Protons are located within the nucleus of an atom, along with neutrons. The positive charge of the protons helps hold the nucleus together through electromagnetic forces.


Do neutrons help make up the nucleus and have no charge?

Yes, neutrons help make up the nucleus of an atom along with protons. Neutrons have no charge, unlike protons which have a positive charge. Together, neutrons and protons are responsible for the mass of the nucleus.
