Atoms are mostly empty space. They do have a nucleus. This contains subatomic particles. Protons. neutrons, and electrons are all subatomic particles.
Protons carry a positive charge.
Neutrons carry a neutral charge
Electrons carry a negative charge.
You may want to see the Bhor/plum-pudding model for more information.

∙ 13y agoan atom has a nucleus which inside you will find protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have a neutral charge. Then, outside of the nucleus you will find a cloud full of electrons. Electrons are found in the electron cloud and have a negative charge. hope this helped:-D

An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms.

∙ 9y agoNeutral atoms have the same amount of protons and electrons. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. If you have the same amount, the atom will be neutral.

What subunits are present in equal numbers in an atom?
In a neutral atom, protons and electrons are always equal.
A particle of matter contains of 6 protons 7 neutrons and 6 electrons This particle must be a A neutral carbon atom B neutral nitrogen atom C neutral oxygen atom D neutral potassium atom?
A. neutral carbon atom
Number of electrons present in a neutral barium atom?
A neutral barium atom has 56 electrons.
How many electrons are present in a neutral barium atom?
A neutral barium atom has 56 electrons.
Is Chlorine a neutral atom?
Yes, Chlorine, like any other element, is a neutral atom, but it can form charged ions.
What must always be the same in a neutral atom?
To have a neutral atom, the atom must have the same amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons inside of it.
Explain why Oxygen atom are neutral?
They're not always neutral. It's the atom's goal to be, though. Since the atomic number is 8, it should have 8 electrons to be neutral. The protons are always locked in the nucleus and the number doesn't change. The number of protons is what makes an atom what it is.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom atomic number 6?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
What is electrical charge in a neutral atom?
Neutral atoms always have a net charge of 0(zero).
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
What subunits are present in equal numbers in an atom?
In a neutral atom, protons and electrons are always equal.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
A neutral atom always contains the same number of what?
protons and electrons
Are there always as many electrons as protons?
In a neutral atom yes, in an ion no.
Is a cation larger or smaller than a neutral element?
Cation is always smaller than corresponding neutral atom.
Why is an atom electron neutral?
Because the Protons (+1) Cancel out the electrons (-1) and leaves the Neutrons which has a neutral charge.
