If the atom is stable and neutral, it will have 14 electrons. If it has a positive charge it will have less electrons, and if it has a negative charge it will have more electrons.

What particles are added together to determine atomic mass?

The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is called its mass number.


What is the charge of a particle with 36 electrons 49 neutrons and 38 protons?

To determine the charge of the particle, we need to consider the charges of the electrons and protons. Electrons have a charge of -1 each, while protons have a charge of +1 each. With 36 electrons, the total negative charge is -36, and with 38 protons, the total positive charge is +38. Therefore, the overall charge of the particle is +38 - 36 = +2, indicating that the particle has a charge of +2.


Why is the atomic mass the same as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus because protons and neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit each. Electrons are much lighter and do not significantly contribute to the overall mass of the atom.


What is the charge of a nucleas?

The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains positively charged protons and neutral or slightly negative neutrons. The total positive charge of the protons in the nucleus is balanced by the negative charge of the surrounding electrons in an atom.

An atom which has 4 protons and 6 neutrons will be electrically neutral if it contains?

An atom with 4 protons and 6 neutrons will have a total charge of +4 due to the protons. To be electrically neutral, it needs 4 electrons to balance the positive charge from the protons.


What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?

The total charge on an oxygen ion with 8 protons and 10 electrons is +2, because oxygen normally has 8 protons and 8 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge. Adding 2 extra electrons gives a net charge of -2.

What is the total number of protons and neutrons in sulfur?

Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.


If an atom has 15 protons 13 neutrons and 18 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?

the nucleus always has a positive charge. The atom on the other hand in its singular state will have no charge as the electrons negative charge counter the protons positive charge. in this example there will be 31 electrons The element would be Gallium but there are not enough neutrons in your question to even make a viable isotope. Gallium typically has 31 protons and 39 neutrons


What is the total charge of an atom with 4 protons 3 neutrons and 5 electrons?

The total charge of an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. In this case, the atom has 4 protons (positive charge) and 5 electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of +1.


Why is the nucleus's charge positive?

because the nucleus consists of protons and neurons- protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge, therefore in total it is positive. however the nucleus is surronded by electrons which have a negative charge... the same number of protons and electrons cancel eachothers charge but the nucleus has a positive charge because it only has protons, no elecrons

What particle control the 'weight' of an atom?

The weight of an atom is primarily controlled by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same weight, while electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons in bismuth 210?

The chemical element, bismuth, has an atomic number of 83. That means that, assuming it's electrically neutral, it has 83 protons and 83 electrons. Since we know that this particular isotope of bismuth has a combined total of 205 protons and neutrons, the total number of subatomic particles in 205Bi; i.e., the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, is 205 + 83 = 288.
