Question

What charge does the nucleus of an atom posses?

Answer 1

Answer:

proton charge is positive, Electron charge is negative, nucleus charge is neutral

Answer 2

Structure of an Atom:

1. An Atom consists of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons.

2. Protons and Neutrons are bonded together in the Nucleus of the Atom. Electrons Revolve round the Nucleus in Electron shells.

3. Protons are positively charges, Neutrons are Neutral and Electrons are Negatively charged.

4. Nucleus of an Atom is positively charged because it contains protons and neutrons.

5. Neutrons have the same mass as Protons but no charge.

The total charge of an Atom is zero, because Number of Protons is equal to the Number of Electrons.

If the Atom loses an electron, It becomes positively charged ion.

If the Atom gains an electron, It becomes negatively charged ion.
