All atoms of any element are electrically neutral as they will have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons in order to maintain electrical neutrality.

Is the net charge of an atom always zero?

The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.


What net charge does a sodium atom have?

A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.


What is the charge of an unbonded atom?

An unbonded atom has a neutral charge, meaning it has an equal number of protons and electrons. The positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in a net charge of zero.


If the number of protons equals the number of electrons the overall charge of the atom is?

zero .. such an atom is neutral. No net charge


Is the net force acting on a body is zero will the velocity be zero?

Not necessarily. If the net force acting on a body is zero, the body's velocity will remain constant (assuming no other forces act on it to change its velocity), but it doesn't mean the velocity will be zero. If the initial velocity is zero, then the velocity will remain zero if the net force is zero.


What combination is a neutral atom that has zero net charge?

Simple, it is a neutral atom, having an equal number of protons and electrons.


What net charge does argon have?

Argon is a noble gas and has a net charge of zero because it is an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, balancing out the positive and negative charges.


What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?

Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).


What forces are when the net force on an object Is not zero?

The do not change.


The nucleus of an atom is not positively charged because?

there are electrons that equal the number of protons, so the net charge is zero


When is the change in entropy zero?

The change in entropy is zero when a process is reversible, meaning that the system and surroundings return to their original state without any net change in entropy.


What causes no change in an objects motion?

Balanced forces that net to zero cause no change in an object motion.
