Question

Assertion- atom is electrically neutral
Reason- equal number of protons and electrons are present in atom​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of protons and electrons, and as we know that the protons and electrons contain opposite types of charge, hence their negatively charged electrons are completely balanced with their positively charged protons.

Answer 2

Both Assumption and Reason are correct.

Why Atom is electrically neutral ?

Ans: When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.
