What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
Why do most atoms have the same number of protons and electrons?
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
What is the charge of an atom with one electron more than protons?
If the atom has more electrons than protons than the atom will be negative.
An atom has the same number of protons and electrons have a charge of?
It would have no charge because each of the negative and positive charges from the protons and electrons would cancel each other out.
How would you describe an atom in which the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons?
You could describe it as neutral as the charge of the protons cancels out the charge of the electrons, essentially though it is just a normal atom as if the number of protons was different to the number of electrons, it would be classed as an ion.

What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons ans six electrons?
An atom has no net charge, and is therefore neutral, as long as the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. There would be no charge. If there is the same number of protons to electrons, there would be no extra attraction to create a charge.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
What is the charge of an atom with one electron more than protons?
If the atom has more electrons than protons than the atom will be negative.
What is the charge of an atom with 15 protons and 100 electrons?
The charge of an atom is determined by the number of protons and electrons it has. In this case, the atom would have an overall charge of +15 since it has 15 protons and 100 electrons, resulting in a net positive charge of 15.
If there are two electrons in an atom how many protons would be in the atom?
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.
An atom has the same number of protons and electrons have a charge of?
It would have no charge because each of the negative and positive charges from the protons and electrons would cancel each other out.
What would the charge be with 13 protons 14 neutrons 10 electrons?
The charge of an atom is determined by the difference between its protons and electrons. In this case, the atom would have a +3 charge since it has 13 protons and 10 electrons, leading to an excess of positive charge.
What if their are 8 protons in an atom how many electrons are their?
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 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.
If the nucleus had seventeen protons and nineteen neutrons how many electrons would the atom have?
The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which is 17 in this case. This ensures that the atom is electrically neutral, as the positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons.
