Answer:
An electron is a negatively charged particle, whereas a proton is a positively charged particle. The magnitude of their charges is equal. Therefore, an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge. Thus, it will be a neutral atom.

ANSWER :
No , the atom will be considered electrically neutral .
REASON :
When an atom contains equal number of electrons and protons then the whole charge on the atom is said to be neutral as the charge of electrons to the charge of protons gets cancelled and neutrons being neutral don't possess any kind of charge on the atom . Thus , the atom becomes electrically neutral .
