A proton is a positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom. Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion.
Q. Which element has no electrical charge at all?
Answer: Atoms of all elements – except for most atoms of hydrogen – have neutrons in their nucleus. Unlike protons and electrons, which are electrically charged, neutrons have no charge – they are electrically neutral.

Q. What is a subatomic particle with a positive charge?
The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons. The protons have a positive electrical charge and the neutrons have no electrical charge. A third type of subatomic particle, electrons, move around the nucleus. The electrons have a negative electrical charge.
Q. What is an uncharged particle called?
Neutron: An uncharged particle found in the nucleus of an atom. A neutron, like a proton, contributes one atomic mass unit to the total atomic weight of an atom. Proton: A positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Q. Which two particles are attracted to each other?
The two subatomic particles that are attracted to each other are protons and electrons.
Q. What part S goes go in the center of an atom?
Protons and Neutrons go in the center of the atom.
Q. What are the circles around an atom?
The circles in the nucleus of the atom represent positively charged neutrons and neutral neutrons. The smaller circles outside the nucleus represent negatively charged electrons. The electrons are held in orbit around the nucleus because opposite charges attract.
Q. How do you know if an atom has a positive or negative charge?
When an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an ION. If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion, or ANION. If it has more protons than electrons,it is a positive ion.
Q. What is the net electric charge of the atom are they balance?
Answer. Answer: Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0.
