its is neutral cuz every atom has negative electrons surrounding the nucleus which has a positive protons, each atom have the same number of protons and electrons so the cancel out each other, it becomes neutral, but there are things called positive ions and negative ions, they are atoms that looses or gains electron without the change of the protons
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral.
An electrically neutral atom is one that has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
Yes, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral. If an atom has a different amount of protons and electrons it is electrically charged, and is called an ion, rather than an atom.
A nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons and neutrons are nucleons, and the neutronis the electrically neutral nucleon.
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Any atom is neutral in the normal state.After loss or gain of electrons an atom become electrically charged.
An atom has the same number of positive protons and negative electrons so the charges balance out to zero
Na+
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
