A neutral atom has not an electrical charge; only cations have a positive charge.
Using an electrochemical cell with two electrodes (anode and catode) you can determine the charge of ions in the solution.
That depends on what you consider a charge. Electrons/protons? Compute approx. number of molecules, multiply by 10 for positive or negative charges. Water dipols? Compute approx. number of molecules for positive or negative charges. Ions/Anions? (Technically, this is not part of water, but salt solutions within it) Don't know how many milligrams of salt there is in an average cup of water.
Protons. A balanced or stable atom has the same number of protons (positive charges) as electrons (negative charges), ensuring overall neutrality. If this balance is disrupted, the atom may become an ion, carrying a positive or negative charge.
The number of neutrons in each atom is not the same.
The assumption of a positive charge is a convention that helps simplify calculations and analyses in physics. Negative charges are also considered in many scenarios, but they are typically represented explicitly as the negative counterpart to the positive charge. This simplifies the discussion and makes it easier to follow without losing generality.
A molecule has partial charges if it exhibits polar covalent bonds, which occur when there is a significant difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms. This difference causes the electrons to be drawn closer to the more electronegative atom, creating a dipole moment. You can identify partial charges using molecular geometry and by examining the distribution of electron density, often visualized through molecular models or computational chemistry methods. If the molecule has an asymmetrical shape and polar bonds, it will likely have regions of partial positive and negative charges.
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
The observation of attraction between opposite charges and repulsion between like charges led to the conclusion that there are only two types of charges: positive and negative. Through experiments and observations, scientists determined that all electrical phenomena can be explained by the presence of these two types of charges.
If has been proven by many scientists.

Early scientists have discovered the negatively charged particles and the positively charged. The atom is neutral because of the presence of equal amounts of both the charges which cancel each other
The charges of atoms on the periodic table are determined by the number of protons and electrons they have. Protons carry a positive charge (+1) and electrons carry a negative charge (-1). The charge of an atom is balanced by the number of protons, which equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Scientists know that atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, consisting of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. They also understand that atoms are the smallest units of an element that retain its chemical properties. Additionally, scientists are able to manipulate and study atoms through techniques like electron microscopy and spectroscopy.
scientists knew that oxygen was a element as it had the atoms of only O i,e. oxygen and helped in increase in combustion
Yes you can but only scientists know how to make it. It's called an atom bomb. It splits atoms.

i know the answer but like I'll ever tell u moron ha ha :) ^ immature :|
An isolated positive and negative can move for example in an electric or magnetic field. But in metals only the electrons can move since the positive charge is bound to the metal lattice by attractive forces.
