there is two charges Positve and Negitive
The overall charge of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, resulting in no overall charge.
protons
The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge due to the presence of protons, which have a charge of +1. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the overall charge of the nucleus.
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
Protons have a positive charge of +1 elementary charge, electrons have a negative charge of -1 elementary charge, and neutrons are neutral with no charge. Copper has 29 protons and 29 electrons, so it is overall electrically neutral.
The atom in a normal state would have two protons to match the two electrons, making the overall charge zero. If the atom is an ion, it would have an mismatched number of protons and electrons, giving it a positive or negative overall charge.
The overall charge of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, resulting in no overall charge.
protons
A helium atom is neutral, meaning it has no overall charge. It consists of two protons in the nucleus, carrying a positive charge, and two electrons orbiting the nucleus, carrying a negative charge. The positive and negative charges balance out, resulting in a neutral atom.
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.
Neutrons have no charge, so in a helium atom, the neutron would also have no charge. Helium typically has two protons (+1 charge each) and two neutrons (no charge), resulting in a neutral overall charge.
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
The number of protons.
The overall charge is the amount of protons minus the number of electrons.
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
Helium is the atom with the least electromagnetic charge due to its stable configuration of two protons and two electrons, resulting in a neutral charge overall.
The nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge due to the presence of protons, which have a charge of +1. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the overall charge of the nucleus.
