The neutrons in its nucleus
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge.
A single positive charge in the nucleus is the proton
The neutron is the subatomic particle in the atom that does not have an electric charge. It is located in the nucleus along with the positively charged protons, and its role is to help stabilize the nucleus by adding mass without adding extra charge.
In a neutral atom, the part that has a positive electric charge is the nucleus, which contains protons. Protons carry a positive charge, while neutrons, also found in the nucleus, are electrically neutral. The overall neutrality of the atom is maintained by an equal number of negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus.
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge.
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
An atom that is not an ion has no electric charge. If it is particles that make up the atom you speak of, the nucleus houses the neutron; an elementary particle with zero charge.
ons
An ION . Atoms that gain/lose electrons are no longer Atoms, but IONS. A CATION is a positively charged ion (M^(n+)) An ANION is a negatively charged ion (X^(n-)). 'n' being a given number. NB Do not confuse Atoms and Ions. Atoms are uncharged Ions are charged.

Electrons are the particles that move to carry electricity within an atom. They have a negative charge and are located in the outer shells of an atom. When electrons flow, they create an electric current.
