|
|
|
positive-the neutrons do not have a charge
|
|
|
positive-the neutrons and protons are positively charged particles
|
|
|
neutral-the neutral charge dominates the positive charge
|
|
|
neutral-electrons cancel out the positive charge of the atom
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The presence of protons is the reason behind the positive charge exhibited in the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge whereas the protons are positively charged and as the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, hence it is positively charged.
Detailed explanation-2: -A nucleus of an atom has protons and neutrons. we know that a proton has a charge of + 1, while a neutron has no charge, or 0. Therefore, the nucleus of an atom will always have a positive charge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles present in every atom except hydrogen. Neutrons do not carry a negative or a positive charge on them. Therefore they have no net electric charge.
Detailed explanation-4: -An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. The positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral.
Detailed explanation-5: -Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons. “Free” neutrons are those no longer confined inside a nucleus. These free neutrons are produced by nuclear fission and fusion processes.
