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).

When an atom is negative or positive?

An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.


Is positive charge spread equally over an atom?

No, positive charge is concentrated in the nucleus of an atom, which contains protons. Electrons, carrying negative charge, are located in energy levels surrounding the nucleus. The positive charge of the protons is concentrated at the center of the atom.
