Question

Atom as a whole is electrically neutral .

Explain why ?

Answer 1

Hello deepu,

Yes, atom on the the whole is electrically neutral. This means that and atom has a neutral charge.
     
This is because the number of electrons present in an atom is always equal to the number of protons present in nucleus of an atom. Thus, the charge of an atom is neither positive nor negative i.e, neutral charge

hope it helps u......

Answer 2

An atom is electrically neutral . It is true and proven

As we know an electron is negatively charged and a proton is positively charge . Whereas in the atom the neutron has no charge . In other words we can say its nuetral . The negative charge of electron is balanced by the positive charge of proton , the negative charge of electron is cancelled by the positive charge of proton or vice versa. So the aton becomes electrically nuetral.
