The charge of an atom depends on the number of protons as compared with the number of electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1 ECU (electron charge unit), and each proton has a charge of +1 ECU.
An Ion is an atom that has a net electric charge that is not 0, because of the introduction or removal of electrons.
What else can I help you with?
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
How do you figure out an atoms electric charge?
well you take the number of protons and you subract the number of electrons thus giving you the electric charge of an element
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Which particles in atoms have a electric charge?
electrons
Do atoms have no overall electric charge?
Correct
What particles in atoms have a negative electric charge?
Electrons.
What are atoms with a positive electric charge called?
Cations.
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What is the name of a particle with an electric charge?
The particle with an electric charge is called the proton. It makes up part of an atoms nucleus.
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Who discovered the atoms contained electric charge?
benjamin franklin
When do atoms have no electric charge equal number of protons and what?
nuetron
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
