That depends on what element it's an atom of.
In a neutral atom of Hydrogen . . . 1
In a neutral atom of Uranium . . . 92
In a neutral atom of any other naturally occuring element . . . between 2 and 91.
Electrons... Electrons are the atomic particles that have a negative electronic charge
Something is neutral when there are just as many positive charges as negative charges. A normal atom has just as many positive protons in its nucleus as it has negative electrons orbiting around its nucleus.
Positive charge refers to an excess of protons in an atom, giving it a positive electrical charge. Negative charge, on the other hand, results from an excess of electrons in an atom, giving it a negative electrical charge. These charges interact differently in electrical fields, with positive charges attracting negative charges and repelling other positive charges.
The properties of an atom that determine its interaction with other atoms based on the presence of positive and negative charges are its atomic number, electron configuration, and the distribution of positive and negative charges within the atom. These factors influence how atoms bond with each other to form molecules.
In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Yes, in an atom, the negative charges of the electrons are balanced by the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. This overall balance of positive and negative charges is what keeps the atom stable.
The atom gets negative charges and positive charges from other things.
Electrons
The charges of an atom are, protons are positive (+). Neutrons has a neutral charge or no charge(0) and electrons have a negative charge (-).
Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.
protons
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.
A neutral atom of Beryllium has 4 electrons. (Its atomic number is 4)
Neutral - the atom will have no charge.
It depends on the atomic weight and how many positive, negative, and neutral charges are in the atom. Marshmellows!
