How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
What are the name of the 3 particles that makes up an atom their location within the atom and their changes?
In the center of the atom (called the nucleus) there are the protons, having a charge of +1, and the neutrons having no charge. Surrounding the nucleus are the electrons, having a charge of -1.
How does a neutral atom change when its number of protons electrons or neutrons changes?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, which balances its positive and negative charges. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. If electrons are added or removed, the atom becomes an ion, gaining a negative charge (anion) or a positive charge (cation), respectively. Changes in the number of neutrons result in different isotopes of the same element, which can affect the atom's stability and radioactive properties but not its overall charge.
For the atom not to be an ion how should the number of electrons change?
In order for an atom to be an ion, it must have a charge. Atoms are naturally neutral, however, and have a charge of 0 because they have the same number of protons and electrons.In order for an atom to become an ion, it must lose or gain electrons. An atom WILL NOT become an ion if it loses or gains protons, though, because if the number of protons changes, its atomic number changes, and it becomes a different element. For example, if an atom loses one electron, it is now more positive, and its charge becomes +1.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO

How is an atom given a neg charge?
In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.
When an atom changes into an ion besides the number of electrons what changes?
The electrical charge; also the ionic radius is different from the atomic radius.
What is the process of electron decay and how does it contribute to the stability of an atom?
Electron decay is the process where an electron changes its energy level within an atom. This process contributes to the stability of an atom by helping to balance the positive charge of the nucleus with the negative charge of the electrons, maintaining the overall neutrality of the atom.
Which subatomic particle changes when an atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes ionized, it gains or loses electrons (usually one).
For the atom not to be an ion how should the number of electrons change?

Why can an isotope be a neutral atom?
Isotopes are exactly the same as their most commonly found element, the only difference being the number of neutrons. Since neutrons have no charge, adding or subtracting them only changes the mass of the atom, not the charge.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
Does an atom have charge?
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
What is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
