What atom has 7 electrons and no charge?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, and has no charge.
What do electrons do in an atom?
They affect the charge of the atom.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
When an atom in no longer neutral it exists with a charge an atom that has a charge is called a?
When an atom is no longer neutral and has gained or lost electrons, it is called an ion. An atom that has gained electrons will have a negative charge (an anion), while an atom that has lost electrons will have a positive charge (a cation).
Why doesnt An atom has no electrical charge?
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
What particles around the atom have negative charge?
only the electrons have a negative charge but they go around the nucleus
What atom has 7 electrons and no charge?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, and has no charge.
Which particles affect the charge of an atom or ion?
The particles that affect the charge of an atom or ion are electrons and protons. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. The number of electrons and protons in an atom or ion determines its overall charge.
What do electrons do in an atom?
They affect the charge of the atom.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
What subatomic particles determine the charge of an atom?
Protons (+1 charge) and electrons (-1 charge) are the subatomic particles that determine the charge of an atom. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The number of protons in an atom determines its overall positive charge, while the number of electrons determines its overall negative charge.
Is an atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
No. Electrons have a negative charge and so removing one from the atom will give it a positive charge.
Charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom is determined by the balance of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge while electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion with a net positive or negative charge.
Which part of an atom carries a negative charge?
The electrons of an atom carry a negative charge. the electron cloud which is around the nucleus containing the electrons For more information, see Related links below.
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.
When there is an equal number of electrons and protons in an atom what is the charge?
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
