Question

An atom is electrically neutral. But the electrons present in it are negatively charged particles. If only negative charges were present, the atom would not be neutral. Then, why are atoms considered to be neutral?

Answer 1

it looks like you missed something....yes,that is protons....in an atom...there is equal number of proton and electron and hence making the atom neutral

Answer 2

If a neutral atom gains electrons, then it will become negatively charged. If a neutral atom loses electrons, then it become positively charged ........
