Other contributors have said "What in the world is a net charge?" is the same question as "Why is the overall or net charge on an atom is zero?" If you believe that these are not asking the same thing and should be answered differently, click here
Why is the overall or net charge on an atom is zero?
because the charge of two protons and two neutrons and two electrons it = 0yes all atoms have a net charge of zerothere is an equal amount of electrons and proton, which have an equal but opposite...
atoms are made up with protons, nuetrons and electrons.depending on the element or compound the atom is found in there may be more protons making it positive or more electrons making it a negativeyes...
An atom does have a net charge of zero. That is because the number of protons (the atomic number, which identifies the element) and the number of electrons are equal. Therefore the positive (protons)...
The protons and neutrons are always the same. answer 2 (The above is true much of the time, but doesn't help.) continue. The charged components of an atom are the protons, and the electrons. These...
A neutral atom has equal number of protons and electrons. Because its positive and negative charges are equal, it has no overall electrical charge, or has an overall charge of zero. The charge...
