0 because an atom is not a charged particle (with the mix of protons which are positive, and neutrons which are neutral . If it was a charged particle, then it would be an ion.
what changes the charge of the atom
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
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Positive.
The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.
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.
An atom is composed of protons and electrons which is similar to the atomic number, and neutrons (every other atom except hydrogen-1 isotope).
what changes the charge of the atom
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
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

A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
neutral
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.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
