Answer:
Explanation: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.

The total positive charge in every atom of an element is always same because an element will not lose protons.
ATOM:
- According to Bohr's model,an atom has a nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus.
- Protons are present inside the nucleus and has positive charge whereas electrons have negative charge.
- Neutrons also reside inside the nucleus but is neutral.
- An element is considered charged when it gains or loses electrons.
- An element will not lose protons..
- So the positive charge in every atom of an element remains the same.
