The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
Charge of an atom?
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
What term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?
Every electron has a charge of minus one. If a neutral atom acquires an additional electron, then it also acquires the charge of that electron, and will have a net charge of minus one.
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What do you call an atom that has a charge?
A ion
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 do we call the tiny core at the center of an atom containing most of the atom's mass and all if its positive charge?
You call it the nucleus
What do we call an atom that has an overall positive charge?
An ion, or a positive ion.
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
In an atom the particles with a negative charge are call?
Electrons are the negatively charged sub atomic particles.
The charge of an unionized atom is?
The charge of an unionized atom is negative.
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
Charge of an atom?
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
What is the charge of electrons in an atom?
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
What is aluminum overall charge of an atom?
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
