Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.

What is the electric charge of neutrons?

Neutrons are neutral, they do not have any charges on protons and electrons do.


An atom which has 4 protons and 6 neutrons will be electrically neutral if it contains?

An atom with 4 protons and 6 neutrons will have a total charge of +4 due to the protons. To be electrically neutral, it needs 4 electrons to balance the positive charge from the protons.


How can an atom be electrically neutral charged when it contain particles that are charged?

an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral


How many neutrons electrons and protons will silicone-29 isotope have?

Silicon-29 has 14 protons and 15 neutrons. Since atoms are electrically neutral, it will also have 14 electrons.


Which best describes the relationship between subatomic particles in any neutral atom?

Protons are electrically positive charged, electrons are electrically negative charged, neutrons are electrically neutral. The number of electrons and protons is equal in a neutral atom. Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus, electrons on electron shells, forming electron clouds.


An atom is electrically neutral because?

An atom has no electrical charge because the negative charge of the electrons counteract the positive charge of the protons and the neutrons in the nucleus have a neutral charge. For example, Carbon has 6 electrons(-6 charge) and has 6 protons(+6 charge). Giving it an atomic weight of 12 and a charge of 0. The 6 neutrons do not change this charge, they keep it the same because they are neutral. (:


Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?

Electrically neutral elements have equal numbers of electrons and protons. A stable element has equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Thus, the answer to the question ''Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?'' depends on the stability of the element i.e. if stable then yes and if unstable than might not.


Charges for protons neutrons and electrons for copper?

Protons have a positive charge of +1 elementary charge, electrons have a negative charge of -1 elementary charge, and neutrons are neutral with no charge. Copper has 29 protons and 29 electrons, so it is overall electrically neutral.


What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?

Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.


Does a neutron have an electric charge?

No, a neutron does not have an electric charge. Neutrons are electrically neutral particles, meaning they have no positive or negative charge.


What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?

Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.


What make an atom an electrically neutral entity?

An atom is electrically neutral because it has an equal number of positively charged protons in its nucleus and negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus. The positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
